Default Will they fit over STI brembo's?

A set of 18" alloys with an ET of 45?

A difficult answer to make, and I'd say no, better to get a greater offset and then you can space out if required.

IIRC 18" the min offset "ET" should be between ET48 and max ET53 but it still dependant on their Spoke layout,

Prodrives PFF7's are ET51

IMHO IIRC

Yes and taller(keeping it simple) assuming he meant Newage STi Brembos and not a Classic Brembo set up if talking classic just ignore my previous posts

If we are still talking "Newage"



And he has to understand that Prodrives ET51 is to get the Wheel in the "optimum" position on the Car and not just to "Miss" a particular Brake.(although it has to)



Some Makes/style of wheels miss the front of the brembo's but were the Spoke turn into meet the Wheel rim they catch there you can space them out but then risk rubbing wheel arches.



IIRC

ET48 less likely to catch Brembo but more likely to tyre to catch wheel arches.

ET53 more likely to catch Brembo's and strut

IMHO


This is a Picture of My MT02 PFF-7's
