The Subaru BRZ 17" Rims look very clean on a Fiero and you get them for a great price.
The BRZ owners usually want to put a set of after market rims and tires...so I have found two complete perfect sets with tires. The 1st set cost me $450 and the 2nd set cost $500.00
***The only modification you need to do to these rims is to bore out the center by 1mm wider...it wasn't hard to do.

Those are 17x7 front with 215/40 front, 18x71/2 235/40 18 rear. MRR wheels. I think I need to lower the car 1"/more to get the stance I really want. What do you think?? Brian its known as the Black Widow. I think this may be the first time it has ever been on the forum Hope its pretty enough...lol

This is the picture with the new tires, Continental Extreme Contact DW 205/45R17 front, 225/45R18 Rear. No rubbing issues.
Here is with the old way over-sized tires.
Yokohama's 225/45R17 Front, 255/45R18 Rear. With this size they would rub in the wheel wells in certain situations. More than I cared for. Rear suspension is coil overs. Front suspension was lowered by one of five owners. I actually raised it a little.

How do you fix the speedometer settings with the larger tires?
In my case, while the tires are larger (meaning more contact with the road), the outside tire diameter is almost exactly the same as the OEM tires (Don't quote me, as I did these long ago, and believe is was only a couple mph difference, very minor). You only have to worry about the rear tires, in cases where the diameter is considerably larger or smaller you consult with a speedo shop, or post question here for others experience with that size tire. I know that there wasn't a lot in speedo transmission gear choices available.

My tires were also chosen to closely match the rolling diameter of the stock 88 Formula's. (It's mostly a tossup between 235/45-17s and 245/45-17s. I have run both, at different times.)
If you have a way to alter the programming in the ECM, it really doesn't matter. You can program for however many revolutions per mile that you need.
