Subaru BRZ Tyre Size FAQ

What tyre size does a Subaru BRZ use in Australia?

A Subaru BRZ commonly uses 215/45R17 or 215/40R18 for factory-style fitments, depending on generation, grade and wheel package. Check the tyre placard before ordering.

Can a Subaru BRZ use 235/40R18 tyres?

235/40R18 is a common modified BRZ or Toyota 86 workshop reference, but it is not a universal factory-size answer. It needs suitable wheel width, offset, suspension height, clearance and alignment.

Are Subaru BRZ and Toyota 86 tyre sizes the same?

Many BRZ and Toyota 86 or GR86 fitments are similar because the cars share a platform, but exact tyre size still depends on the model year, grade, wheel package and current sidewall.

Should a BRZ get a wheel alignment after changing tyres or wheels?

Yes. A BRZ responds strongly to alignment changes, and a proper alignment helps protect tyre wear, steering feel and braking stability.
