STI alloys will clear them, WRX ones wont, (it will have sti stamped on them somewhere if they are sti alloys)

But you don't need new Brembo's. Get some new disks and pads for your current brakes. Or look into bigger brake kits that fit under most 17's.

4 pots will be a cheaper alternative, and they fit under thse wheels fine.

Yeah I thought about 4pots and that's what I was going to do but I have sourced a good set of brembos. I am going to weigh up all my options I think

You could run some 10mm spacers on your WRX wheels, they would allow clearance. Expect to pay up to a hundred quid for a decent set.
