Subaru BRZ ZD8 wheel fitment
The second-generation BRZ uses equal wheel and tyre sizes on both axles. Owners commonly choose 17-inch wheels for track tyres, with wider options needing checks around the front strut and rear quarter-panel lip.

Explained in our guides
Read these before choosing wheels for the BRZ: they explain the offset, fitment and hub numbers in this guide.
- Wheel offset explained: choosing ET without guessingUnderstand positive and negative wheel offset, calculate inner clearance and outer position, and choose an ET using measurements from your own car.
- Flush, poke and tucked fitment: measure the whole tyreUnderstand flush, poked and tucked wheels, calculate how width and offset change the look, and check clearance beyond a parked side-on photograph.
- Hub-centric vs lug-centric wheels: choosing hub ringsLearn what hub rings do, how to specify their inner and outer diameters, and why centring, wheel seats and vibration need separate checks.

Balanced road and track
- Front and rear
- 17 × 8.5 inch, ET44 · 235/40 R17
Apex staff recommendation for this wheel size. Check the exact tyre and alignment if the car is lowered.
Wider 17-inch track setup
- Front and rear
- 17 × 9 inch, ET42 · 245/40 R17
Extra negative camber can be needed with wider compounds. Camber added at the knuckle may require a 5 mm front spacer; rear quarter-panel lip clearance may require trimming. Measure before ordering.
Width and offset guidance
Offset range
Check the exact setup
There is no confirmed range for this car yet. Compare a known wheel with your proposed size and measure both sides.
Common width limit
Measure before ordering
A maximum width has not been confirmed. Tyre shape, ride height and alignment all change the available space.
These figures belong to the setups described here. Combining the widest wheel with either end of the offset range does not guarantee a safe fit. For how ET moves the wheel in and out, read wheel offset explained; for how far the tyre can sit out, see flush, poke and tucked fitment.
Clearance notes
- The hub pattern is 5x100, not the 5x114.3 used by many other Toyota and Subaru performance cars.
- Wheel nuts are M12x1.25. M12x1.5 Toyota nuts have the wrong thread.
- Brembo-equipped cars need a confirmed brake-compatible wheel. Apex tests the listed wheel designs; the same diameter and offset on another design is not proof of clearance.
- The rear quarter-panel lip can obstruct wider wheels. A wide fitment carried over from the first generation is not automatically suitable for this body.
- Check full steering lock and suspension travel with the car loaded. Match wheel load rating, tyre load and speed ratings, fastener seats and brake clearance.
