Default Brembos behind wrx wheels

I have recently picked up a bugeye spec c but it was fitted with the wrong wheels in japan. If I buy the front brembos to go back on it then will they fit behind the wheels or will I need new wheels aswell. Thanks Chris

Not into spacers so may have to look for a set of sti wheels if anybody knows of any going cheap

It most likely wasn't fitted with the wrong wheels. IIRC a lot of Spec C's were built for competitive use, so came with poverty 4 pots and usually space savers.
