BRZ, Don't challenge me in your RWD version of a Corolla!!!!

kenchan · 06-02-2015, 11:53 AM

now would a BRZ be able to carry four Z wheels/tires?

if yes, i think im game.

kenchan · 06-02-2015, 11:56 AM

actually the rpf will need to run aftermarket tires since factory is 17's... so add another 1K for tires. stil around $30-31k.

I think the funniest thing he said was "you lower life form". LOL I laughed for a while about that.

kenchan · 06-02-2015, 02:05 PM

...............SW TTL dia
215 45 17 96.75 625.3 (stock)
225 40 18 90.00 637.2
235 35 18 82.25 621.7
245 35 18 85.75 628.7
255 35 18 89.25 635.7

so yah, 245/35/18 square would be close.. 18x8 ET35 18x9.5 ET38 drop 2"
or 235/35/18 + 245/35/18 staggered drop 2" probably.

kenchan · 06-02-2015, 02:07 PM

oh and run RE92's.

brz/frs folks can thank me for the calculation.

mishuko · 06-02-2015, 02:45 PM

cousin has a frs... it's not bad. did feel a bit underwhelming on a 'straight' but yea... what do you expect from the engine?

unfortunately when i rode it was under 200km and still needing break-in. we'll be crusing more this summer... hopefully he won't be towing me when i bust my csc.

kenchan · 06-02-2015, 03:38 PM

i wonder how much suspension stroke is left after a 2" drop... might be riding the bumpstops.

I like turtles.
