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.

Easy upgrades for street-driven cars

These bolt-on wheel fitments are ideal for enthusiasts enjoying their car day-to-day on the street, and they are typically paired with all-season or performance oriented summer tires. These wheel and tire configurations will improve the appearance and performance of the car without requiring modifications to the factory suspension or alignment. Just bolt-on and enjoy!

While these wheel fitments can be used for track days and AutoX, performance will be left on the table. Drivers that prioritize performance should review our Performance Street & Track and/or Hardcore Track & Race sections below.

Performance Street & Track

Wider fitments for enhanced performance

Whether you enjoy spirited street driving or you are a weekend track warrior chasing lap times, these wheel & tire configurations are ideal for enthusiasts looking for a more dramatic improvement in performance and they are typically paired with performance oriented Summer tires or track oriented R-compounds. 

17” wheels keep weight and tire costs to a minimum, allow for improved ride quality, and will still clear factory Performance Package Brembo brakes with ease.

Wheels

  • Front & Rear: 17x9" ET48
    • Available in: VS-5RS, SM-10RS
    • Popular Fitment
    • These wheels require 5mm front spacers and extended wheel studs for strut clearance on OEM Gen 2 suspension. If additional negative camber has been dialed in at the knuckle, a larger spacer may be required.
    • With aftermarket coilovers a 10mm-15mm front spacer and extended wheel studs are recommended to bring wheels flush to fender.
    • Depending on tire size/model and how negative camber is achieved, shaving the inner lip on the rear quarter panel may be needed

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. Learn more in our blog article, The Positives of Negative Camber.
