Best Wheels and Fitment Options for the Toyota GR-86 / Subaru BRZ

The GR-86 is quite possibly one of the best looking vehicles to come from Toyota since the late 90’s. Each curve and each line feels purposefully placed and well executed. Even the factory wheels are better than 90% of factory wheels on the streets today. However, as we add suspension, aero, and begin the hunt for mechanical grip, it becomes immediately clear that an upgrade on all four corners is the next logical step. The question then becomes, what fitment should you go with?

Lucky for you, we are intimately familiar with the GR-86. Understanding everything from the CANBUS system limitations to the pesky RTV oil pan issues, so wheels should be no problem. Right? Well that depends. We’ll observe three very different styles of fitment and recommend a feasible wheel. Your tire choice, which we will leave completely up to you, will determine your mechanical grip, your fender modification requirement, and the overall final fit and finish of your 86. However, we have to start with what comes factory. The GR-86 has a few wheel options, but the size reference we will go with is 18×7.5 +48 with a 5×100 bolt pattern. While the bolt pattern alone with limit you tremendously, we can all agree that the factory wheel specs are… ‘Mid’ at best.

If you’re looking for something a bit wider than factory, without having to modify your fenders or worry about your fender liners, going up 1 inch in width and down 13mm in offset is the way forward. The Rotiform DTM, starting at under $1400 per set is a perfect candidate for this fitment style, sporting an 18×8.5 +35 spec and a silver finish will be sure to add a bit more style to an otherwise factory GR86, plus you can rest easy knowing you have the history and reputation of Rotiform keeping you safe. If that’s a bit out of budget, no worries, we have countless budget options in this very fitment to get you right.

If you want fitment so flush, there’s no dip from fender to wheel face, we recommend 18×9 +40. Flush fitment often requires some trimming of the fender wells and often times, the final result is so worth it. To achieve this look, we recommend the Volk ZE40, but if that’s out of budget, the Enkei PF05 is also a sure fit for those looking to add some dimension to their GR86 without breaking the bank.

While those looking for battle stance (less wheel, more tire) would opt for 17” wheels, the dimensions as far as width and offset are the same as they are with the 18’s. For this crowd, we recommend 17×9 +35 to +45 with minor trimming. However, if you want a little poke, keep the diameter at 18” and go with a set of SSR GTX01’s in 18×9.5 +40, add some 200 treadwear tires, and enjoy the pass.

Toyota Supra Upgrades: A Guide by Toyota of N Charlotte

Are you looking to upgrade your Supra?

This sports car is already iconic, but there are lots of ways you can customize your ride and make it your own! Our N Charlotte auto care experts are here to talk about Toyota Supra exhaust, turbos, air intake, and more!

Selecting Your Toyota Supra Exhaust 

Which Toyota Supra exhaust you choose should depend on why you want one. Your new Toyota Supra exhaust will make the vehicle louder, more powerful, and it can increase airflow or improve fuel efficiency. Here are some things to look out for when choosing:

When it comes to material, you want to stick with stainless steel or aluminized steel. Stainless steel is resistant to high temperatures, corrosion, and rust, and aluminized steel is just a lighter, cheaper option. 

Make sure the piping diameter is not too narrow or too wide. This will affect gas flow and performance. 

Ensure that you have the correct model for your car and get the installation done by a mechanic you trust. 

Selecting Your Toyota Supra Turbo 

Looking to increase the power and torque of your car? A new Toyota Supra turbo may be the perfect upgrade for you. Here are some tips from our N Charlotte Toyota team on choosing your new Toyota Supra Turbo. 

Decide what horsepower range you’re aiming for before purchasing a Toyota Supra turbo. Also, ensure your car has the traction to handle the turbo you choose.

Think about the thermodynamics involved with increasing power. You don’t want a turbo that will push the temperature up too high when maximizing forced induction. 

Make sure the compressor and turbo you choose can push a lot of air into the engine’s cylinders. 

Selecting Your Toyota Supra Air Intake 

Similar to Toyota Supra turbos, the Toyota Supra air intake system uses air to create more power in the engine. Below are some things to think about when choosing a new N Charlotte Toyota Supra air intake:

Cold air intakes are better for performance because cold air is more rich in oxygen, which enhances combustion.

There are two types of styles with cold Toyota Supra air intakes (short ram and true).

The short ram requires less fabrication work since you can access the air filter more easily.

The true cold pushes the air as far forward as possible but might require more “plumbing” and fabrication.

You want to choose a Toyota Supra air intake that matches your car model and year. This will ensure easy installation. 

You want to go for heat resistant materials. You want it to stay cold in your engine, but also not hot in your air intake system.

Using straight hoses in your Toyota Supra air intake system is more efficient for airflow than curved hoses. 

You want to select a weather and water resistant system. Any water that gets inside the system can cause a huge engine failure.
