so Hatch STi or newer wheels if 8.5".......your std wheels are circa ET53 so only 3mm difference on the physical ET, albeit the width will be quite different
have had quite a few Hawks with Hatch STi wheels in over the years and they are generally no issue

Dave,
Why not use the tyre/rim calculator on here using what's current and what you want to fit

yes they’ll fit. (Barring any crazy spoke design that would foul the caliper)

The GC-010E have flat spokes on the inside and can clear 6-pot brakes, you will have no issues with Brembos and as others have said there is no need for spacers.

They are indeed , if I wasn't selling the STi I'd have kept them.
Likewise Dave, it was good to meet you too and hope to meet up again either at Caffeine and Machine or any other event. Are you going to Rally Day at Castle Coombe in September?
Post some pics up when fitted!
