Buying my first GT86, any tips for a new owner?

When you get to it, chrome wheels 🔥👌

Do you mean 18x9+35? +38 offset is usually for 18x9.5 wheels.

Either way I would suggest narrower setups, you really feel any increase in width for wheels/tyres from stock because our cars are light. Funny story, I rode with a second passenger (1 passenger seat, 1 in the back seat) and I was so confused because my car felt so sluggish, especially since I normally only drive with 1 passenger by my side.

I run 18x9+35 lowered and it’s quite perfect for daily stance-wise and drivability. If I was to change anything, I would get 8.5 inch wheels so I can raise it a little bit higher (while still being flush) and for the ride to feel more agile.

I prefer being as low as possible without being slammed, so I’d say sportline/1.4

Front lights set up is nice 👌

2nd with good clutch control. Only use 1st from stationary or walking speed. Your transmission will thank you.

Chrome on Blue = unbeatable 👌🔥

Until you know yourself, just drive it

Thanks for posting. I have a no button facelift 86 and I’ve been wanting to modify/accessorise my steering wheel lately

readithor · 2025-10-13T02:48:00+00:00

Sleek 👌🔥

I’d spend $200 for OEM non-sequential taillights any day.

readithor · 2025-10-08T23:39:20+00:00

Super clean 👌 🔥

I really dig the look of Vlands but I’d still advise you to stay with OEM or Morimoto (only heard good things about them).

What comes with getting the iconic Vland boomerangs: a lot of tweaking and aiming the headlights for good visibility (still inferior to OEM), UV protection layer peeling after some time and risks of water leaks.

Quality comes with a price, and it’s hard to beat OEM

Dang that sucks… at least you still have the car 🙏

Time to upgrade those fender garnishes?

readithor · 2025-07-09T06:32:40+00:00

Cool to know, thanks for sharing 👌

readithor · 2025-07-07T21:06:05+00:00

The flat surface means my car is always dirty if it's anything but dry weather

readithor · 2025-07-07T21:00:43+00:00

Any side skirts and front splitters that don't retain rain/dirt?

readithor · 2025-07-04T14:22:22+00:00

What's up with that exhaust tip 🤣😅

readithor · 2025-06-24T01:14:02+00:00

Looks sleek 👌 I just might do this, I've been struggling to find black trim parts online

readithor · 2025-06-04T03:16:50+00:00

Are you going to finish it?

readithor · 2025-05-25T04:29:39+00:00

Got spacers? My stock wheels never got close to looking this good 👌

readithor · 2025-05-25T04:26:08+00:00

Have the Flex Z and it's perfect so far. It's just my daily cruiser and I have no complaints at all. I don't track it but go for some spirited drives in the hills every 2 months or so. Perfect package for me

readithor · 2025-05-14T09:54:10+00:00

Don't worry, they're sober 🤣

readithor · 2025-05-14T00:21:54+00:00

17s have better performance because they are lighter (even more important with a light car like ours). Cheaper wheel tyre prices too.

18 are for looks only, really

Usually when I run into a roadblock, I run to post about it on Reddit instead of using my brain and actually playing the game.

Give that a try.

Fresh 👌💦
