My wheels will be ok as they are aftermarket and have the correct offset.
I'm mainly wondering about the p.c.d for the disks and weather the calipers will bolt on?
Would anyone happen to know?

Infact it's not even as hard as that.

Anything is possible , is it worth it for the work you need to do and the quality of the finished job , NO !
You will have to elongate the holes in your hub assembly to make them line up with the caliper lugs , there is about 3mm difference in the spacing , so your making the hub assembly weaker , and the bolt is not fitting into a round hole.
You have to machine down the lugs on the calipers to line them up with the discs , in the link they did it with a grinder !! doing it this way , they will never be perfectly flat and the bolts will forever come loose .
My advise is don't bother and fit the STi calipers , at least all the other drivers around you will be safe even if you don't care about your own safety.

Thank you very much for the help and advice everyone
I think I will just leave it and save up for a set of sti brembos. As I prefer to be safe on the road.
Again thanks
