RAYS 57DR 5x100 for GR86, BRZ & WRX: 18x9.5 +38 Guide

RAYS Gram Lights 57DR Semi Gloss Black 18x9.5 +38 5x100 wheel

The RAYS Gram Lights 57DR is a popular six-spoke Japanese performance wheel, and HausofWheels currently lists a 5x100 18x9.5 +38 specification in Semi Gloss Black. That specification is attractive for Toyota GR86, Subaru BRZ and selected Subaru WRX builds, but PCD alone does not guarantee fitment.

Current 57DR 5x100 specification

One current HausofWheels listing is RAYS Gram Lights 57DR Semi Gloss Black – 5x100 – 18x9.5 +38. It is a square-set specification and should be assessed together with tyre size, ride height, alignment, brake clearance and the exact vehicle.

GR86 and BRZ considerations

The Toyota GR86 ZN8 and Subaru BRZ ZD8 use a 5x100 PCD. An 18x9.5 wheel is wider than the factory wheel on these cars, so inner suspension clearance and outer guard clearance both become important. Lower ride height, tyre width and alignment can materially change the result.

Before ordering, compare the wheel against the dedicated GR86 / BRZ wheel collection and read the broader GR86 / BRZ fitment guide.

Subaru WRX 5x100 considerations

Many earlier Subaru WRX applications use 5x100, but model year, brake package and suspension setup must be confirmed. Use the dedicated Subaru WRX 5x100 wheel collection rather than assuming every WRX uses the same bolt pattern.

If you are unsure which WRX PCD applies, see our Subaru WRX 5x100 vs 5x114.3 guide.

What 18x9.5 +38 means in practice

An 18x9.5 +38 wheel is a relatively wide aftermarket specification. The 9.5-inch width affects both inner suspension clearance and outer guard position, while the +38 offset changes where that width sits relative to the hub. This is why a 5x100 bolt pattern by itself is not enough to say the wheel will fit a GR86, BRZ or WRX.

Tyre choice is part of the fitment

The tyre can change the real-world clearance just as much as the wheel specification. Tyre width, sidewall profile and the shape of the tyre's shoulder all affect how close the package sits to the suspension and guard. A setup that works on one car can rub on another if the tyre size, ride height or alignment is different.

Street car vs lowered or modified car

For a street-driven car, the priority is usually predictable clearance through steering movement and suspension travel. Lowered or track-focused cars may use more aggressive wheel and tyre packages, but they can require additional alignment, negative camber or other clearance work. Treat modified-car examples as references rather than guarantees.

57DR 5x100 FAQ

Will 18x9.5 +38 fit a GR86 or BRZ?

It can be a viable aftermarket specification, but the final answer depends on tyre size, suspension height, alignment, brake clearance and the exact car. Use the GR86 / BRZ collection and confirm your setup before purchase.

Is 18x9.5 +38 suitable for every 5x100 WRX?

No. WRX applications vary by generation and brake package. Start with the WRX 5x100 collection and verify your exact model.

What other 5x100 18-inch wheels can I compare?

Browse the 5x100 18-inch wheel collection to compare other RAYS, Enkei, SSR, WORK and Japanese performance-wheel options by width and offset.
