GR86 GR86 - What wheels and tyres are you thinking about?

I think he is refering to rubbing on the factory strut. You don't get this issue with coilovers.
 
Thanks both. I found a video of a GR86 with 235/45/17 on a +35 offset (albeit on 17x9.5) and there was a lot of poke on the rear. I think it's workable but, given i place usability over stance, ill go with the +45s and less blingy finish

Interesting that you get rubbing - I have 8.5 ET38 which is within 1mm of "poke" of a 9 inch ET45 and no rubbing so far with 225 tyres and 2.25 degrees of negative camber.

Well it's only on one side, some small marks inside the wheel house. I never noticed it while driving.
 
Got a set of used 17x9 +42. I will be testing in the upcoming weeks, concerned about the rear fitment. May require rear camber, in this case would rlca or ruca be better?

Rear I think you will be OK, specially if you go for 245 section tyres . You may have issues at the front with the oem shocks and springs.
Rlca are easiest to install but they push out/ pull in the wheel from the botton, Ruca does it from the top.
If you don't need more negative camber than the oem setup, I would install the wheels and test if they rub before changing suspension parts

I heard about that, coilovers are next. May have been a better plan to start with coilovers, but I found a good wheel/tire set for a fair price.
 
If I don’t swap the TPMS off the oem wheels, the warning light is just one of the small lights right and doesn’t hide the vehicle information like it does when it thinks the pressure is low?

Edit: just checking as Toyota have quoted £702 and my first born for another set plus coding…

I believe the small TPMS warning light would be an MOT failure.

I paid £300 for the four non-OEM sensors in my non-OEM wheels. That included taking the tyres off, fitting and coding the sensors, refitting and rebalancing the tyres/wheels. It would have been cheaper if I had the sensors fitted when the tyres went on the wheels.. but that's another story.

I believe that the OEM sensors are Bartec sensors - which are the brand that I fitted. I wonder if anyone on the forum can confirm that?

A sneaky picture of pallet #3 of #4.

My special 17x8 +38 sets will be arriving via air freight, ready to be sent out 20th August.
 
Finally got and fitted my NT03RR's on Saturday, thanks for all the help from the people on here given I was asking some pretty stupid questions.

17*8 ET48. Pilot Sport 5's (225/45/17). It might be a placebo but the road noise doesn't seem as bad with these so far.

Need to lower the car a bit now but I want to sort out getting the TRD kit first.

I managed to get some Work Kiwami’s from a yahoo auction in Japan shipped to my door for less than the price of 2 new rims. One of them had a small nibble of curbing which I’ve found some touch up paint that’s a 90% match so you’ve really got to look to spot it!

I ended up with the same fitment as the original 18’s, I wanted to go slightly wider and a slightly lower offset but couldn’t resist these, and at standard ride height I haven’t got monster truck stance! Swapped the tpms and PS4’s over to stay frugal!

Lovely.
Which colour are thiose and where from if you dont mind
 
Need to finalise a tyre choice soon. Still leaning more towards the Goodyear Eagle F1 Supersport. Anyone know where's cheapest? I'd still have to pay for fitting but I'm hoping when I get them sealed, there's a wheel specialist next door who could mount them for me and possibly do sensors too.
