18x48 et x 100pcd impreza wheels generally have bigger insertion depth (et) which means the spokes might be closer to calliper so you may need some small spacers.
yes m8 ur right there 8.5J my bad. Also my standard wheels are ET55 but the bola is ET 45. on bola wheels was told they would fit around standard breaks but with uprated brakes like alcons am not sure, bin told to get a template for the brakes don’t know what they are asking for there. They look similar specs to urs

Reason: Mistake
I’ve got a 355mm brake kit on my 2015 STI with 18x9.5 et40 alloys. It’s going to be the Caliper to spoke clearance that will be the issue, if it gets close you may just have to use a small spacer.
spokes on bolas b1s are far away from caliper, main issue could be caliper size with 365mm discs, not sure alcon proR will fit but think it should, sprintingharejohn sells 355mm kit with alcon race rc6 calipers and non race discs/bells
issue with alcons are discs cost around 1k pair vs ap 440 pair,on race kit You will need bells and bolts to -around 300.
Mine is road car ,if i will buy brake kit again it will be alcon race caliper-lightest monoblock design with biggest pads from all kits i have seen/owed plus 365mm non race discs/bell setup like on proR kit( there is to much noise from race floating discs)
seen You ask about Red thats mean alcon proR as Alcon do not paint race kits,all calipers are grey
But must say now im impressed with mine ap's ,just fitted new discs/bells and ebc rpx pads, enough for road but with alcons fitted on heavy braking I almost landed on steering wheel, never happened with ap's and Ksports.

IMO the Alcon Advantage / Pro-R type kits whilst initially decent value are poor in terms of replacement costs / upkeep and also their quality
the calipers in particular are far more prone to corrosion / seizing than the pukka Motorsport Monoblocs are!!
we normally use their M/sport calipers but combine with our own custom bracketry, etc to get something which works extremely well but actually lasts

could You make a kit with alcons rc6 calipers, 362mm apracing discs and ap's floating bells? it will need custom brackets only then
other option for me is BBK on rear axle

What APs are you running. I have the OZ Ultraleggras but in 17"s @lockheed . I'm wondering if they will fit now.
They wont fit 17inch rims, had to have the 18 inch rims.
I bought them from RCM but i think they have moved over to Alcon as i couldnt get AP four pots for the rear, had settle for the alcon rear four pot s
Just for reference i think Don Has the smaller disc on the front with six pots, these will fit 17inch rims for his winter wheels.
I've just bought some 6 pots hoping they will fit under my 17" alloys, is it just the discs that won't fit?

Well yes, but the bracketery for calipers should reflect that i think.
Give Alyn a bell, talk to an expert.
I dont have 17 inch wheels so i didnt investigate to far as i was told my discs wouldnt fit under 17s.

The 365 front kit doesn't fit under the OEM wheels used on the MY11-13 WRX STI Saloons/Hatches due to their "inner barrel" design.
So 343 only, but still extremely good, especially with matching rears.......

for my alcons race and for apracing wheel internal barrel diameter needs to be minimum 41cm
looks like proR caliper is bigger than Race version
2015 sti Enkeis 18 did not fit over my brakes, to narrow barrel on them
