Default 6 speed questions

Hi, I am currently stripping my engine out ready for the 2.1 stroker to go in. My question is I will be using a 6 speed box and diff, can I use the hubs which will likely be 5 x 114.3 on my classic and use the standard later sti wheels with out any major drama?

The later alloys are 8" wide, and MAY cause some clearance issues, so long as you get the whole rear end as a kit it should bolt on, but from 05 onwards they run a wider rear track too.

Oh your brakes are smaller than the later STI set-up, and getting the whole rear end might be a better bet.

Thats what i plan on as want to fit the rear brembo's at the same time. With out the need for the brackets etc.

Banny do you know what needs to be done with the rear struts as i have BC coilovers.
