hi mate, from what ive been told the wheels will fit, wheels from a turbo up to the new hatch shape should all be 5x100

 

from a classic i mean

 

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.

learn something new every day, ill take it into account when putting bigger discs on mine

 

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

Tony

 

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

Regards
Ian

 

never even knew! i was looking to put the brembo callipers on my car aswell, you dont know if the gold multispoke prodrives fit over? sorry to change the subject!

 

Hi matey for brembo callipers you be prepare pay 750£ for front and rear.
And Prodrive alloys,you mean this,if yes you will fit under Brembo Callipers

 

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

 

These? though they are not Prodrive wheels

ah that might be the one, thanks, had a feeling i was wrong! least the callipers fir behind them anyway

 

ok so the pro drives look good and fit but getting back on subject, can i fit wheel spacers to over come the clearance issues with the calipers

 

Hi matey everything depends on ET and after this you will see if you are need spacers.
If its possible post the picture of alloys
