I would say no, there are very few 18 inch wheels (if any) from a classic that will clear the brembo's on a new age STI.

Its the clearance behind the spokes on the wheels, the brembo's protrude out a fair bit and even on the standard alloys there isnt much room (maybe 2mm) between the caliper and wheel

Thats a good point as it looks like there is only a *** papers distance from the wheel to Caliper
What about wheel spacers ?

ah pretty expensive :/ they look different again, the ones im thinking of have more spokes with a groove down the middle of every spoke, but they might be 17s
