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.

Hardcore Track Wheel Fitment

Track focused fitments that require significant modifications

  • Black Toyota 86 - VS-5RS in Anthracite
  • Yellow Toyota 86 - VS-5RS in Anthracite

These wheel and tire configurations are best suited for hardcore track junkies and club racers competing for a spot on the podium.  Everything from Extreme Summer tires to full Racing Slicks are commonly used depending on your experience behind the wheel, class rules, etc.

These flush wheel fitments will maximize inner strut clearance, though they will require negative camber and shaving the rear quarter panels to clear the fenders.

Aftermarket rear upper and lower control arms may change fitment requirements, and we encourage anyone with a significantly modified vehicle to contact our product experts.

Should I Dial in Negative Camber, and How Much is Right for me?

Whether you are a casual weekend track warrior that still enjoys your car on the street, or a hardcore racer competing for a spot on the podium, negative camber is a vital part of chassis setup that has many benefits. Not only will adding negative camber create more room for wider wheel and tire configurations, it more importantly improves handling, turn-in and tire longevity.
