Scion FR-S, Toyota 86 and Subaru BRZ (2013-2020) wheel fitment: hub bore, bolt pattern, factory sizes and what fits
Published · Updated
What wheels fit a 2013-2020 Scion FR-S, Toyota 86 or Subaru BRZ?
Short answer: Every 2013-2020 FR-S, 86 and BRZ uses 5x100 with a 56.1 mm hub bore and M12x1.25 studs; Toyota's torque table gives 120 N·m (about 89 ft-lb). Most cars came on 17x7 +48, 2017-20 BRZ Performance Package and Series cars on 17x7.5 +48, and a few late special models on 18x7.5 +48. The most common upgrade is 17x9 around +35 to +42 with a 245/40R17. Brembo cars need at least a 17-inch wheel whose spokes clear the calipers, and wheels with a bigger bore need 56.1 mm hub rings.
Hub bore, bolt pattern, studs and torque
Facts as of 2026-11-12. These apply to every 2013-2020 car, whatever the badge or trim. The hub bore, pattern and thread come from wheel guides and a Subaru parts retailer's spec list, which all agree; we have not found them in a Subaru or Toyota document. The torque figure does come from Toyota.
| Spec | Value | Where it comes from |
|---|---|---|
| Bolt pattern | 5x100 | rimlist and ThreePiece.us wheel guides; Subimods OEM spec list (all re-read 2026-11-12) |
| Hub (center) bore | 56.1 mm | rimlist and ThreePiece.us; Subimods says every OEM Subaru wheel in its list shares 56.1 mm |
| Stud thread | M12x1.25 | rimlist and ThreePiece.us |
| Lug nut seat | 60-degree cone (conical) | FT86CLUB owner thread (read 2026-10-26), where an early ball-seat guess was corrected |
| Lug nut torque | 120 N·m (about 89 ft-lb) | Toyota Europe's wheel-nut torque table, GT86 2012/03 to 2022/02 (re-read 2026-11-12); the guides say 89 and 90 ft-lb |
The FR-S hub bore: 56.1 mm, shared with the GR86
The hub bore is 56.1 mm on the Scion FR-S, Toyota 86 and Subaru BRZ, and wheel guides give the same 56.1 mm for the 2022+ GR86 and BRZ, so factory wheels from either generation center on the same hub. Factory Subaru and Toyota wheels need no hub rings.
Many aftermarket 5x100 wheels are bored to 73.1 mm (sometimes 67.1 mm) so they fit several cars. On those, a hub-centric ring that steps down to 56.1 mm keeps the wheel centred on the hub rather than on the lug nuts. Owners suggest aluminium rings for track use, because brake heat can soften plastic ones. One owner measured a stock BRZ wheel bore that tapered to about 55 mm; nobody else has reported that, so buy rings for 56.1 mm.
Factory wheel and tire sizes by trim
Every car runs the same size front and rear. Weights: a Subaru parts retailer lists about 20.1 lb for the 2013 BRZ 17x7 and 20.8 lb for the 2020 Performance Package 17x7.5; it notes the first figure was not scale-checked.
| Car and years | Wheel | Offset | Tire | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2013-2016 Scion FR-S, 2017-2020 Toyota 86, and BRZ without the Performance Package | 17x7 | +48 | 215/45R17 | Subaru Canada's 2013 BRZ spec sheet and Scion's 2013 FR-S brochure give 17x7 and 215/45R17; the offset comes from wheel guides |
| 2017-2020 BRZ Performance Package, 2017 Series.Yellow, 2019 Series.Gray | 17x7.5 | +48 | 215/45R17 | Subaru's 2017 press kit gives 17x7.5 against the standard 17x7, with Brembo brakes and SACHS dampers; the offset comes from wheel guides |
| 2018 and 2020 BRZ tS, 2019 86 TRD Special Edition, 2020 86 GT (one guide) | 18x7.5 | +48 | 215/40R18 | Toyota Canada's 2019 TRD SE sheet lists 18-inch alloys and Brembo brakes; the trim list is rimlist's, and a parts retailer also lists a 2020 BRZ Limited 18x7.5 |
| 2013 BRZ RA and base 86 in some non-US markets | 16x6.5 | +48 | 205/55R16 | One wheel guide only |
Brembo cars (Performance Package, Series, tS, TRD SE)
Subaru's 2017 press kit says the Performance Package brought Brembo brakes with 4-piston front and 2-piston rear calipers, and Toyota Canada lists Brembos on the 2019 86 TRD Special Edition. Those calipers decide what fits. Both wheel guides say no 16-inch wheel clears them, and a 17-inch wheel clears only if its spoke shape and barrel leave room. rimlist adds that clearance on the factory wheel is already tight, and that many 18-inch wheels clear but unusual spoke designs still need checking.
Reported examples, from the two wheel guides (re-read 2026-11-12): the Enkei RPF1 17x8 +35 clears the Brembos, but the RPF1 17x9 +35 does not without a spacer (ThreePiece says about 8 mm). A WedsSport TC105X 17x9 +35 is reported to clear. A Rota Gravel 18x8 +44 with 235/40 tires fitted a 2017 Performance Package BRZ with no spacers.
Putting Performance Package 17x7.5 wheels on a non-Brembo car is disputed. rimlist says you need spacers to clear the front brakes, while Subimods lists the 2020 BRZ 17x7.5 and 18x7.5 as clearing four-piston calipers. Neither gives a measurement, so test-fit first. The 2013 BRZ 17x7 base wheel does not clear Subaru's four-piston FHI calipers, per the same list.
Popular aftermarket sizes (wheel-guide suggestions)
These ranges are the wheel guides' own suggestions and examples, not tests we have checked. Clearance also depends on ride height, camber, tire model and the wheel's inner profile.
| Wheel | Offset | Tire | What the guides say |
|---|---|---|---|
| 17x7.5, 17x8, 18x7.5 or 18x8 | +35 to +48 | 215/45R17, 225/45R17 or 215/40R18 | OEM-plus; no fender work. A retailer shows an 18x8 +44 on a Brembo car without spacers |
| 17x8.5 or 18x8.5 | +35 to +44 | 225-235 | Flush look, generally no rubbing |
| 17x9 | +35 to +42 | 245/40R17 | The most popular size; no rolling at stock or lowering-spring height. A 255 usually needs some fender rolling |
| 18x9 | +35 to +42 | 245-255 | Aggressive street fitment |
| 17x9.5 or 18x9.5 | +35 to +40 | 255-265 | Camber plates and usually fender rolling. One 18x9.5 +40 car with 265 front and 275 rear tires needed rolled and pulled fenders and still rubbed lightly |
| 17x10 or 18x10 | +35 to +45 | 265+ | Track cars only: spacers, steering-rack limiters and more than 3.5 degrees of negative camber |
Inner clearance, lug nuts and TPMS
- Front strut: on cars with SACHS dampers or coilovers, the strut body can touch the inner barrel with 245-255 tires; rimlist suggests at least a 5 mm spacer or a wheel with more inner clearance.
- Fender liner: 9.5-inch and wider wheels on lowered cars can touch the liner at full lock; a 3-5 mm spacer, a narrower tire or a little more ride height are the usual fixes.
- Without fender work, rimlist puts the limit at about a 245 tire with sensible offset and ride height.
- Lug nuts: factory nuts are 60-degree cone seat on M12x1.25 studs, so aftermarket wheels take cone-seat nuts unless the wheel maker says otherwise.
- TPMS: rimlist says these cars use direct, in-wheel 315 MHz sensors; you can move the factory sensors to new wheels or buy a second set.
Swapping wheels from other cars
- 2022+ GR86 / BRZ 17x7.5 +48: yes on non-Brembo cars. Same pattern, hub, studs and size as the Performance Package wheel. Nobody tested it over the 2017-20 Brembos.
- 2022+ GR86 / BRZ 18x7.5 +48: yes. Same size and offset as the late 18-inch wheel here; check spokes on Brembo cars.
- 2002-04 Subaru WRX 16x6.5 (+53 in spec lists): likely on non-Brembo cars, but no owner reported this exact wheel. It will not clear the Brembos. A 205/55R16 is about 1% taller than 215/45R17 (our arithmetic).
- 2006-07 WRX 17x7 +55: unclear. It bolts on, but it sits 7 mm further inboard than the factory +48 wheel and no source reports clearance.
- 2004 STI 17x7.5 +53: unclear. The pattern matches, but no source tested it here. 2005-07 STI wheels are 5x114.3 and do not bolt on.
- These wheels on a 2022+ car: the 17x7 base wheel likely fits non-Brembo cars (it does not clear Subaru's four-piston calipers), and the 17x7.5 and 18x7.5 wheels match the 2022+ factory sizes. See the 2022+ GR86 / BRZ wheel guide.
What we could not confirm
- A Subaru or Toyota document for the +48 offsets, the 56.1 mm hub bore and the M12x1.25 thread (all come from wheel guides and a parts retailer's list).
- A factory statement of the lug nut seat type (owner reports only).
- Which BRZ trims got 18-inch wheels: rimlist names the 2018 and 2020 tS; a parts retailer lists a 2020 BRZ Limited.
- Whether the 2018-2019 86 GT was on 17s and the 2020 86 GT on 18s (one guide only).
- Whether Performance Package wheels need spacers on a non-Brembo car (the sources disagree and give no measurement).

Fitment answers covered by this guide
FAQ
What is the hub bore on a Scion FR-S?
56.1 mm. Wheel guides give 56.1 mm for the 2013-2016 FR-S and the 2013-2020 Toyota 86 and Subaru BRZ, and the same figure for the 2022+ GR86 and BRZ.
Is the FR-S, 86 or BRZ 5x100 or 5x114.3?
5x100 on every 2013-2020 car. ThreePiece.us notes that bolt-on 5x114.3 conversion kits and adapter spacers exist, but says choosing 5x100 wheels is usually easier.
What is the lug nut torque on a Toyota 86, FR-S or BRZ?
Toyota Europe's torque table gives 120 N·m (about 89 ft-lb) for the GT86 built from March 2012 to February 2022. Wheel guides quote 89 and 90 ft-lb. Check your owner's manual.
Do I need hub-centric rings?
Only if the wheel's center bore is bigger than 56.1 mm. Many aftermarket 5x100 wheels are 73.1 or 67.1 mm and need rings; factory wheels need none.
Do 16-inch wheels fit a BRZ or FR-S?
On non-Brembo cars, yes: owners run 16-inch Subaru wheels such as 16x6.5 +48 for winter. On Brembo cars (2017+ Performance Package, tS, TRD SE), no 16-inch wheel is known to clear the calipers.
Will 2022+ GR86 wheels fit a 2013-2020 86 or FR-S?
Yes on non-Brembo cars: the 2022+ 17x7.5 +48 and 18x7.5 +48 wheels share the 5x100 pattern, 56.1 mm hub and M12x1.25 studs. Test-fit the 17s over 2017-20 Brembos.
