Will 16-inch wheels (winter or lightweight sets) fit a Toyota GR86 / Subaru BRZ (ZN8/ZD8, 2022+)?

Short answer: Yes, reportedly Limited
Verdict:Fits Limited confidence (1 of 3) · 1 source
Yes, reportedly: On non-Brembo cars, probably yes: one Japanese blog says the Japan-market GR86 RC came from the factory on 16x6.5 +48 with 205/55R16, so it clears the base floating calipers on that car.
Safety-critical part. This claim comes from community or vendor sources, not the vehicle or part manufacturer, so its confidence is capped at "Reported". Have the work done or checked by a qualified professional and confirm part numbers with the manufacturer.

Details
On non-Brembo cars, probably yes: one Japanese blog says the Japan-market GR86 RC came from the factory on 16x6.5 +48 with 205/55R16, so it clears the base floating calipers on that car. It does not recommend 16s for Brembo cars or cars with GR monoblock calipers. No US source tested this, so test-fit first.
Specs
- bolt pattern: 5x100
- typical: 16x6.5 +48 with 205/55R16
