My answer is simple, run 18x9 +40 with 245/40 & KW/ST coilovers. Looks great, rides great and handles well. Of course, I want to take a great handling car and make it better, not make it a parking lot queen.
I'm really interested in seeing a single exit full exhaust, w/ resonator and catted DP, for us adults who want loud-ish, but respectful toward neighbors.
camber bolts and going with a slight stretch up front (245/35) on 18x9.5s helps but still doesn't totally remedy rubbing if you're say pushing through a U-turn for example or hitting a tight hairpin turn, even with coilover dampening set at max hard and 8k spring rate. like he said though, that's just life if you wanna run these size wheels on these cars and have no wheel gap
Correct... There are a lot of Factors, We could add even more Camber up front with a Bolt if you see the front was Maxed out on the top hat in the front. This was just an example and to show what can happen, in future vids we will add all the control arms to adjust things as needed. Ever situation will be different , it will be based on tire size, camber, ride height and even dampening adjustments. The BRZ is lowered but not super aggressive and we run the 18x8.5 Titan TS-5 +40 offset and a lot of these issues are gone.
I don’t know a lot about tires but if I use the same fitment as he is using , with just coil overs and not lowered a lot , do you think that will solve the rubbing problem ?
Looking forward to the more detailed fitment video! Would like to know how much tire I can fit underneath the car for the occasional track day without having to worry about rubbing
What's the widest 18" that fits on stock suspension WITHOUT rubbing (18x9 with 245s?), with maybe 0.5-1" lowered on lowering springs? I want my ride to be comfortable without rubbing (tires) and scraping (bumper when going over bumps).
This is what happens when you modify a car for looks instead of function. 255 tire can support a 400HP car very easily. There is no need for a tire like that. Its all about show. Even with added power a 225-235 tire will provide all the grip you need. Which also means you can make those rims a full inch more narrow. That solves every fitment problem shown. I get the desire for monster tires, but most people dont realize in many situations it makes you slower. But to each their own.
Agree , but I believe these TE37 are lighter than stock - Stay tuned for the BRZ video with the 18x8.5 Titan-7 TS-5 Rims - This is the proper fitment for this car, This video was for information to share what will happen and make the new owners aware. I agree with you a lot of ppl will run then for the looks, the Concavity of 9.5 always look nice. Thanks for your comment
I'd like to see (and hear) the ARK DTS on the GR86: I'm planning to buy and mod one. I prefer the lower pitch, grumbly "grown-up" sound of exhausts like that, or maybe the Corsa, without ANY droning or raspy issues, even if they're not too loud-leave that to the kids. But some I've looked at, with double mufflers, resonators or whatever drop too low right around the axle and there could be clearance issues (apart from looking goofy). Also, I really like the widest, 4.5" tips. What would you recommend, and could you try some out for us? Thanks.
I don't get 245+ 8"+ sizes. I wide bodied my nissan sentra specV with 8s 235 and 20mm spacers and sure it handles like a champ but that a lot of exra weight. When my BRZ comes in 7.5-8" on 225s itll give me enough grip and will keep mass off the wheels
Any insights on Rays 57CR 17x9 +38? I find 18's too big. Love the 57's. Planning to run them - hopefully on the BRZ. I hope Rays will offer more conservative fitments for the gen 2 if gen 1 specific wheels causes an issue. I do plan to run coilovers, RLCA's and toe-arms Thanks Danny
@@r6mt09 I don't suspect a 17 X 9 being an issue - perhaps offset may play a role Perhaps with come down to tire choice since not all tire widths are the same - unfortunately. May try a 245/40/17. I've seen folks run similar fitment for track use.
Would be nice if you made a wheel fitment page for this car on the website. That would save us time and money. The most aggressive fitment from what I’ve seen without rubbing is 18x9.5 +40 on 245/35/18 without control arms or camber bolts as long as the coilovers have adjustable camber
I have BC racing coilovers on mine but I'm still on the stock 18-in Wheels. What would be the wheel size you would recommend to fit if I want to not swap out the control arms?
Great informative video. Good job. I wanna see some slim mirrors. Is there an option for that? Because I really like the small mirrors on the Aston Martin DB10, it makes the car look more sleek. So I want to see something like that on the GR86/BRZ. Thanks!
Im woried about the oil blockage on this boxer after I just bought this!!!!! WTF, now I got to drop the oil pan every oil change to check for blockage in the oil sump????WTF
Sorry dumb question guys. But how much did you end up trimming to prevent the tyre from rubbing? Did you have to cut a whole chunk out so it gets rid of the first alignment hole for the plastic tab?? Or did you not even get to the first alignment hole on that rear fender?
@@86Speed Yeah, that’s what I was afraid of after watching this video now. I’ve seen it on the 1st gen and it’s not anything some camber can’t fix. However, since the 2nd gen has a slightly wider track I’m afraid it’ll be too much poke and I’ll have to give it excessive camber to tuck the top into the fender.
We already did it. We have the video Ready for upload soon. We are waiting for parts from Japan to have to be able to sell and offer or at least preorder when the video drops
Multiple dealers told me this car has a market adjustment cost of $9800.00 over MSRP and people are buying them faster than ants to sugar.WTH..............?
We did this video because a lot of new owners will be trying to fit the older generation wheels on the new Gen2 cars. We have Proper Titan-7 Wheels on our white BRZ. Its in a few of our other Videos here
Seconding this, also seeing if the 4th brake light delete (due to the cut bumper) with rocket bunny reverse light would be able to be attached to the bash bar
In Japan, i see most guys doing 17x9 +35 RPF1's (15lbs) and 255/40/17 with lower and upper arms with serious negative camber upfront on the coilovers. No cutting. perfect fitment with no mods is 18x8.5 +40 with 245/35/18. 18x9.5 +38 with 255/35 tire is too much for this car.
hmm - well... We do Supra stuff also, there is a big toss up on what is a better car. Depends what you want out of it, IMO the 86 is more all around fun. Maybe its the manual Transmission
What's the point of TE37 wheels if you don't buy the actual forged ones. This car is slow, it needs further weight reduction to push power to weight ratio where it should've been from factory, where people begged them for 8 years to push it in the next generation and they ignored it to bolster WRX/Supra sales.
Why are you explaining what previous parts don’t fit? Why would anything from the prior gen fit? Did you think it was a facelift? The whole car is noticeably different and a normal person would know that without trying them lol. It’s a brand new car. Also it’s not helpful to just say 18x9.5 et41 is too big. You’ve run three sets of wheels it would be more helpful to say if you don’t want rubbing get a size under: xxxxx
Wait till you put your mother in-law in the back. You may as well throw the whole plastic trims away. Those 255 tires just ruin the handling of this car. Silly.

What is your opinion on the Sach dampers on the performance pack 1st gen car?
They are okay. There is demand for them we have them on our previous demo car 17 PP BRZ but we installed aftermarket coilovers for better performance
What is making the rear track width wider on these cars? From my understanding the subframe and LCA dimensions are the same as the previous gen?
I want to see if the new 2.4L engine fits in the gen 1 with little to no modifications.
It should

I have a set of Bc coils im not going too low on my brz probably a 2 inch drop do i need Lca’s , uppers , stabilizers etc.
86 & BRZ have different DRL headlights! the BRZs comes in and curves near the top of the headlight housing while the 86s doesn’t.
Correct and the BRZ has a Logo inside and the 86 has no logo
So I just ordered 18x9.5 +38 and they won’t fit :(? I got coilovers too
They fit on our car... depends on how you define fit, slight rubbing may occur based on other factors
+38 is the most aggressive - much better it it was 1 +44 or more inbound
+40 fits with 245/40
I meant 245/35
Dying to hear an Invidia Gemini R400 on this car.
Just got some 18x9.5 35 with some bc coilovers and some Rear control arms…anything else I need to make them fit?

Is the GR more tail happy stock vs brz or do you think its predominantly the mods?
This was before any mods - yes the 86 was and always was more tail happy than the BRZ.
The GR eight six needs a better slip time 0-60.
"18 to 24 year olds" you have a way with words.
Off the bat, what doesn't fit - Accord rear, and lack of boost next to similarly priced boosted WRX.
