About This Subaru BRZ Limited 2013 Build
We love featuring real builds from real owners. This Subaru BRZ Limited 2013 sits on a set of 17×8 / 17×8-inch AVID1 AV6 wheels, and the result speaks for itself.
The owner chose AVID1 for a reason. This brand delivers serious quality and a design language that turns heads at every car meet. We see hundreds of Subaru BRZ Limited builds come through WheelFront every month, but this one stands out. The combination of the exterior with the AVID1 AV6 creates a look that balances aggression with elegance.
Fitment Breakdown: AVID1 AV6 on the Subaru BRZ Limited 2013
I walked around this BRZ for an hour at the meet and the fitment is spot on. These AVID1 AV6 wheels in a 17x8 setup are perfect for the ZC6 chassis. They sit flush with the fenders without needing massive modifications.
The +35 offset is the secret sauce here. It pushes the wheels out just enough to kill that sunken stock look. You get a wider track width that actually helps the car rotate in tight corners.
I checked the caliper clearance and it is tight but safe. The spoke design on the AV6 curves away from the brakes nicely. You will not have any annoying rubbing issues with the stock calipers.
The hub bore fits the BRZ platform like a glove. Make sure you grab some hub-centric rings to keep everything vibration-free at highway speeds. Trust me, do not skip those rings.
Since the owner threw on a set of coilovers, the fender gap is non-existent. The tire shoulder sits millimeters from the fender liner. It looks aggressive, but I would watch out for sharp dips in the road.
The 17-inch diameter keeps the rotating mass low. That helps the car feel peppy and keeps the steering input sharp. You lose the heavy feel of 18s while keeping the visual impact.
Check your alignment settings if you go this low. A little bit of negative camber keeps the tires from chewing up your fender tabs. It is a simple fix for a clean look.
What We Recommend for Subaru BRZ Limited 2013 Owners
If you want this exact look, stick to the 17x8 square setup. It keeps the car balanced and allows you to rotate your tires for better longevity. Don't waste money on staggered setups for this platform.
Aim for an offset between +35 and +40. Anything lower than +35 will poke too much and ruin your fender paint. Anything higher starts looking like a stock wheel again.
Do not go crazy with tire stretch. Stick to a 225/45/17 tire to get a nice meaty sidewall that protects the rim. It fills the wheel well much better than a stretched 215.
Avoid cheap spacers if you can help it. If you buy the right offset from the start, you never need to worry about extra hardware. Keep your rotating assembly simple and lightweight.
Common mistakes usually involve buying wheels that are too wide. An 17x9 or 17x9.5 is cool, but it requires way more suspension work to clear. Stick to the 17x8 for a stress-free weekend cruiser.
Style and Build Analysis
The Hyperblack finish on these AV6 wheels is absolute magic. Depending on the sun, the color shifts from a deep gunmetal to a dark, moody chrome. It creates a high-end look that usually costs twice as much.
This design pulls heavy inspiration from classic motorsport wheels. The multi-spoke layout looks fast even when the car sits parked. It complements the angular lines of the 2013 BRZ perfectly.
The stance is aggressive but functional. Many builds I see are way too low, but this one has just enough travel to handle real roads. It looks like a car you could actually drive to the track.
Proportions define this build. The 17-inch size does not overwhelm the body lines like 19-inch wheels often do. It keeps the BRZ looking like a sports car rather than a cartoon.
Compared to other builds, this one feels refined. The owner avoided the loud colors and stuck to a classic palette. It proves that you do not need to be flashy to stand out in a crowd.
Why We Love This Build
This BRZ stopped me in my tracks because it feels complete. The Hyperblack finish catches the light every time the car moves, making the wheels pop against the dark paint. It fills the arches with such precision that you can tell the owner measured twice and cut once.
There is a raw, honest energy to this car that modern builds often miss. It sits low, looks fast, and keeps the spirit of the original BRZ alive. I walked away wanting to buy a set of AV6s for my own garage immediately.
This is exactly how a daily-driven tuner car should look. Stop overthinking your build and just go for this setup.

Before You Buy: Fitment Checklist
We talk to Subaru BRZ Limited owners every day. These are the questions we hear most before they pull the trigger on new wheels.
Will 17×8 / 17×8-inch wheels fit my Subaru BRZ Limited? Yes, but fitment depends on width, offset, and tire size working together. A wrong offset means rubbing. A wrong tire size means poor handling. Always verify all three.
Do I need to modify my fenders? That depends on your offset and suspension. A conservative offset with stock ride height usually fits without modification. Go aggressive and you may need to roll or pull your fenders.
Can I daily-drive this setup? Absolutely. Thousands of Subaru BRZ Limited owners run 17×8 / 17×8-inch wheels every day. The key is choosing the right tire with enough sidewall to absorb road imperfections.
