brz SA15 or NT03 fitment?? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

cookiesowns · 08-05-2014, 03:23 AM

Hey guys,

I've been looking at some wheels, and the ones that really catch my eye are the SA15-R weds and Enkei NT03+M's.

Now I'm wondering about size and fitment. I'm going to be on stock suspension for just a bit longer, and I'm wanting to do a square setup for the track. But it seems like I can only fit a 8.5 or 9 up front.

But the SA15's and NT03's come in 8.5 or 9.5. Would I be able to fit 9.5 all arounds without needing to roll fenders? Or would stagger be the best bet at this point, if I want to run as wide as possible in the rear?

I'm guessing 8.5's should be plenty of meat for a stock BRZ..

What about offsets? I'm a fan of that concave look, and I'll most certainly go with the STI upgrades, or just a full f/r BBK.

The width isn't the concern. It's the offset you need to worry about.

9.5 fits up front no problem. From a brief glance in the wheel directory I see three people that have done the SA15 setup. One with 8.5 +48 all around, one with staggered 8.5/9.5 +48, and one with 9.5 +48 all around. I'd recommend looking through that thread and take a look at what other people are running with those wheels and see what you think will work best for you.

if you run 9.5" with +48 offset in the front, you'll need coilovers to get clearance. stock shocks/springs will rub.

I have nt03 for sale if you want!

9" +45 is iffy for clearance on stock type shocks (not coilovers with smaller diameter springs), no chance you'll fit a 9.5" +48.

If you care about handling balance, don't go staggered. Ask yourself what you're trying to get out of the car, and what matters most. Be honest too, don't get something track suited for one track day a year, but don't buy something just for looks if you'll be on a track a lot more often.

The ideal setup on stock BRZ or lowering springs will be the SA-15R 18x8.5 +48 | 18x9.5 +48

That setup will clear stock suspension. Already been proven. The 18x9.5 +48 squared will not work that has already been tried and it hits stock suspension/lowering springs.

We offer both wheels, just let me know if you have anymore questions.

Or if you want you can go with the new SA-10R from Weds Sports. 18x8.5 +45 | 18x9.5 +45
