If you are getting a spec C as opposed to a spec c Ltd I would be interested in the 17" rims it comes with

I would suspect so - is it a new age MY01 or a very late classic?

Speedlines are very good for fitment and extremely good for clearance (so they'll have no problems over the Brembo's, as they fitted over my 6-pots in the Evo with room to spare).

Where are you in the country?

Question

Not 100% sure but i would say no! They won't fit over the STI Brembo's. Choice was very limited although there are some more wheels available now, as the Speedlines are quite old i would'nt think they go over the calipers!

Well knowing that they do fit over the Evo Brembo's & AP 6-pots (as I had them in 18" on my Evo VII), why would the Scooby Brembo's be any different for clearance?

I also know the Turini's are quite light indeed for an 18" (which I have on my car now) and they clear both the Brembo's & AP 6-pots on the Scooby.

Exclamation

Agree with Scott.

From Scooby sport website.

Speedline GT One lite 18" ET48 Gold (not 02 STi)
Speedline Turini 18" ET48 Gold (incl STi)

AFAIK this is because of spoke design and the way it curves back in.

True Nathan

My UK300 wheels fit over AP6's but won't fit over STI Brembo's. The STI wheel (which looks the same as mine) has a different offset to clear the calipers!

Thats why not many people had 18's on their STI7's until Prodrive bought the 2 fitments out and then technomagnisiam designed one! (as on XtremeScoobies show car)
