Front's - YES, direct fit.
Rear's - Require brackets for the calipers and modded handbarake shoes.

Im also considering this mod, I have a 93 Classic with 8x17's fitted, will the offset be an issue with these?

its not the offset, but the spoke design of wheels that is the issue..................

which 8x17's fitted evander? the WRX wheels won't work, the sti ones will. You haven't pit your offset down, it is the ET number , something like ET 48 the 8 is 8 inch width and 17 is obviously the diameter.

i just got an earlier set myself, still had to get 3mm spacers though

sti 360 08 September 2007 08:46 AM

I cant check my wheels at the moment unfortuately, Im on an oil rig off west Africa. Im just asuming they are 8x17 Speedlines multi spoke but they may even be wider than 8" because they looked quite wide compared to a set of 7.5x15's I have lying around. Ill need spacers maybe, who stocks these?

i just went to motorworld to get my spacers, dont have to be anything special

sti 360 10 September 2007 04:08 PM

ah just a little 10mm spacer and longer bolts ,pain in the ass to be fair but helps handling

evander 10 September 2007 05:32 PM

You guys that have fitted spacers, did you also fit them at the back and how has it affected handling?

sti 360 10 September 2007 06:48 PM

it turns into corners better with them on the front,i have not put them on the back yet

WRXshaneWRX 10 September 2007 07:15 PM

ive just got them on the front, urr is this where someone tells me you gotta fit um on all 4 :wonder:

WUZ 10 September 2007 07:58 PM

Maybe its just me but I thought the track on the rear of a vehicle had to be EQUAL OR MORE THAN THE TRACK ON THE FRONT ?

Later cars have differing PCD so the discs would have to be re-drilled.

Spacing wheels out is basically changing the offset off the wheel. So if you fit a 10 mm spacer, you are changing the offset by 10mm!
And if you change offset, you should change geometry settings to compensate.
