MrH's BRZ Thread

I'm thinking 17x7 with 225s or 235s

[r0tor]

Uhh, your going to want 8-9" width for that

[68_427]

I have some serious considerations for 18x10s for the 8... lol

I'm thinking 17x7 with 225s or 235s

I would go at LEAST 7.5" for 225's and definitely 8+ for 235s...

Im so tired of rp's...

Yea stock I had 225s on an 8" and it just had a bit of sidewall stretch and razor sharp reflexes.  I switched to 245s last tire purchase and now there is just a little sidewall bulge and a lot more numb reflexes.

Nice, they remind me of the Wedssport SA60



Come to think of it, they'd prolly look good on the BRZ as well.

[r0tor]

Love the sa60s as well... and work emotion cr kai of course but only in wide widths with tons of concave

Yeah CR KAI looks good on EVERY Japanese sports car.

The SA60M ggets that concave at 10in.

My bad.  The ones I was looking at were 17x8.  A few I'm considering are 17x7.5.  That should be able to run a 225 width tire, correct?

ADVAN!!!

I wouldnt go less then 8" unless you like the stretched sidewall look... of which I am not a fan

If you like concave styled rims you need to go 9"+

Would be close.  My dad's rims are 8in wide with 235s, and they fit perfect IMO.

The Advan RG-D are some of the most badass looking wheels.  Or the RZ-DF

The Corvette is bulgy as fuuuu.   But I was talking about his Bonneville.

I love how people get $8000 wheels and then never get
hub caps. Because race car? I can see your rusty spindles and nuts.

Our race cars don't have center caps, but they are race cars.

Mr H sorry to threadjack but this is gorgeous

Makes me almost want one of these oil guzzlers

Accent has faux carboun fibre caps because sexy.

Drinkers or sippers. Not guzzlers.

Oh poor you. You need a real enthusiast car pretty soon.

I had 245s on 7.5" wide wheels on the front of my old Mustang.  Numbness increased in the steering feel and became slightly less reactive to steering inputs compared to the 225s that were on it prior.  I had to switch the wheels out for 8" wide and things got back to normal...which wasn't great to begin with.

EDIT:  Corrected my wheel widths.  I just went back and looked at what they were.

I am a trucker. I am a Freightliner enthusiast. I drive the cheapest Hyundai because cars are for dummies.

Yeah but I wouldn't go any wider than 225 on a 7.5" wheel. I'd go with an 8-8.5" wheel just so you can run both 225 and 235 if you wanted to (though a 225 on an 8.5" wheel may start looking stretched...).

[Eye of the Tiger]

I'd go with 8.5" so you can run 255's.

[Eye of the Tiger]

You need to bring BRZ to the dragon. I will bring Accent. It's a race.

[MrH]

I'm probably going to wait until the spring to get my summer tires and wheels it looks like.  I'd rather have the cash available right now, and it'll give me some time to save up more.  I'll be putting Blizzaks on my stock wheels for the winter.  At least my car won't look like a dork mobile when the snow comes.

[MrH]

There it is all waxed up, with the tint on. 35% all around.

Yeah but I wouldn't go any wider than 225 on a 7.5" wheel. I'd go with an 8-8.5" wheel just so you can run both 225 and 235 if you wanted to (though a 225 on an 8.5" wheel may start looking stretched...).

Depends on the aspect ratio, but IIRC you can safely go up to 235 on a 7.5" rim.  Granted, I don't think there are a lot of options for 235 width tires.
