read OP's post....

It's for seasons not for wear.

OP, most people just get an extra set of rims. You can usually get a set for about $500

my bad. no need to get butt-hurt over a simple mistake.

I had the same issue until I found some used (slightly bent) OEM rims for 500 bucks. I had them trued ($200) and now have summer rims and winter rims. I think thats a better option than swapping out your rubber every 6 mos.

just an option.

ps the BRZ is *very* different to drive from a Z. I recommend a few very aggressive test drives in both. (ie really open them both up on a freeway on ramp)

...Then go buy your Z

Suppose a farmer with a rowboat is on one bank of a river with a fox, a goose, and a sack of corn. He wants to get the fox, goose, and the sack of corn to the other side of the river but can only carry one at a time in the rowboat.

How does he do it?

Get the Z and a set of winter wheels for the winter tires. swap them at home. Problem solved. While the FR-S/BRZ is a nice looking car, they are slow and not as fun to drive.

I fit 4 tires in the Z

it's tight but it fits two in the hatch and two on the passenger seat

You can, however, fit 4 fr-s tires in the z because they come with prius tires and have the section width of a little girl's arm.

i replace my tires once a year... but i also put on about 25,000-30,000 miles a year

MagmaRed370z · 04-29-2015, 08:29 AM

nope, 4 tires wont fit. This is what I did:

1) Put tires on my wife's VAN
2) Drop off tires to tire shop.
3) Drive Z to Tire Shop and install.
4) Pick up tires on wife's Van.

Done.

kynseon · 04-29-2015, 10:04 AM

Or you can buy the Z. Do the trailer mod and put a trailer with all your tires.

WaikikiJason · 04-29-2015, 04:47 PM

Can always just buy the 370z extended package with rear seats
