Your spreadsheet has Subaru/STI/SPT prices under the part number column. Otherwise, a great summary.

Yeah, I wish it were mine, otherwise I would've fixed it when I saw it last week. I haven't desired joining the FT86club just to relay that, though. haha

I think it's awesome! I should probably link it in the other thread here specifically concerning aftermarket parts.

Yep, a couple of the First 86 guys have recieved their FR-Ses. The first BRZs are next week- a couple of people have dates for the 25th, and 3 more for the 18th. (I'm one of the 18th people, along with Jeff Perrin and one other Washington guy)

UPDATE: My ETA was just updated to the 15th. WOOO! Same with the other washington guy, and I bet Jeff Perrins, too.

That's my plan for tire size. How did you come up with the 42 offset to try?

Symbiont · 05-28-2012, 10:33 PM

I am primarily looking for a rim setup that isn't staggered and has no poke in the front. I've heard 17x8 and some 17x9 rims fit well, but I'm not sure on the offset required per.

You'll definitely want to check out Perrin's write up in this forum for the BRZ. They suggest possible tire sizes and offsets.
