Brembo brakes under 18" wheels on 05 blob wrx

Been offered a Brembo front set up for my 2005 wrx blob. I'm running 18" wheels. Will the set up fit under the 18's or will there be issues clearing?
Thanks.

depends on wheel spoke design, but not heard many issues with 18`s clearing

wouldnt it be prudent to say what wheels or a picture, to check with others if they do clear then ?
As I said some spokes have a bit of a curl inwards, if they are a flat backed spoke then there shouldnt be an issue,
this may help explain it.
