Our GR86 Fitment Guide contains tailored information for a wide range of wheel and tire setups specific to the GR86. Our fitments range from mild OEM+ options like our 17x8” ET40 to hardcore track fitments like our 17x10” ET45 and everything in-between.

We even offer insight on how to make the venerable 18x9.5” fitment work without cutting for that flush aggressive street style. Our Gen 2 Toyota GR86 Fitment Guide goes into great detail on exactly what modifications are needed to achieve the exact fitment you’re looking for. We have a wide variety of strong, lightweight wheel designs to choose from. Interested in Forged Wheels? Check out our VS-5RS and SM-10RS. Flow Formed Wheels? Our ARC-8 is a true classic.

Brake Clearance Information
In the engineering phase of wheel development we 3D scan factory brakes and review 2D aftermarket brake templates in order to optimize our barrel profiles and spoke curvatures. As a result, our wheels offer massive brake clearance so you can run the smallest possible wheel diameter.
All 17" & 18" APEX BRZ wheels were designed to clear the factory Performance Package Brembo Brakes from the first generation models, which can be adapted to this chassis.
