Default Definitive List of 17" Alloys That Fit Over Brembo's

I know the question "will these alloys fit over Brembos?" has been asked hundreds of times on this forum, and after searching the archives I can't really find a list of all those that will.

So for the benefit of people in a similar position to myself... wanting a set of 17's that will clear Brembos off of a newage STI (upto 2004 - PCD 100) on a Classic shape Impreza, but unsure of what style to go for, hopefully we can come up with a list of all possiblities.

Posting up the alloy type and a pic would be great, so i'll begin with the easy one :

STi Impreza version 7/8



... if this has already been done, I do apologise, but I couldn't find it. So may aswell make one that can be found anyways!

Well when I started the thread I was talking about Subaru Brembo's as thats what i've got and which is also probably they most common brake mod for classics... are aftermarket Brembo's (calipers) different in size?

Pretty much anything 17.7.5 ET48 in the rota range. I think there is one that doesn't boost rings a bell but I would have to check. The clearance is minimal though lol !
