I'm guessing the offset of the STI wheels are different to the wrx wheels?
So if I find a set of STI wheels that are 17" and almost identical looks wise to the wrx wheels then they will clear brembos seeing as though they're fitted with brembos?

Are the std wrx wheels and STI wheels from 2002-2004 (100pcd) visually the same? I found an online guide that says they're all roughly ET42-50 and if the Brembos and discs on the 02-04 are 330mm and clear the STI wheels then I'm struggling to work out what's different between the std wrx wheels and 02-04 STI wheels.
But.....if the difference is to the inner spoke design and that they differ slightly then that makes sense. So if I purchased 02-04 17" STI wheels they'll clear brembos???
Cheers

Working out costs I reckon I'll be better buying the big brake kit from Godspeed when the time comes. By the time I buy a set of 2nd hand brembos,discs & the wheels I'd be well on the way. I'd need to have the wheels powdercoated as well unless I was lucky enough to find a set that were already the colour I wanted.

In the new year I'm going to go with a bigger brake kit up front from Godspeed and as their kits come with brackets for the fitment of the caliper it got me thinking......
When it's comes to using the gold brembo calipers from the STI are they a direct fit without adaptors? And is the rear caliper a direct fit as well? I know the discs have a different diameter housing for the handbrake shoes etc.
I think I'll go down the route of fitting the rear brembo calipers purely for aesthetics as I think small discs behind alloys look ****e. And if it improves the braking even further then that's a plus.
P.S or are those brackets the same as the brackets already fitted to the car and they just supply new ones with the kit??

The gold brembos will be a direct fit aslong as they clear your alloys mate.
in terms of the rears. Aslong as you don't have a hatch, I think that they should fit without adapting them to your car I believe.

I was just checking, I'm wanting to keep the wrx wheels so it'll be the brake kit from Godspeed but I'm wanting the Brembos at the rear. Did you get your Brembos yet?

you will need adapters to fit brembos to an r160 hub..... Unless you have the subaru branded 2 pots, in which case they will bolt straight up...
