jamieerst, from previous replies I've seen on this, the wheels will fit but the tyres wont - the tyres are too wide to fit on a classic and will foul the arch and/or the suspension.
To get the STI 8 wheels on a classic you have to fit them with the preffered tyre sizes of 215/40/17 or 205/45/17.
Hope this helps (Or not, as the case may be
)

I tried these wheels with std 225/45 tyres on my classic and they rubbed on the shocks at the rear.
I fitted a pair of 6mm spacers and it then rubbed on the arch lip on bumps. Only slightly but you couldn't drive it!
Changing to 215/40 tyres should cure the rubbing (as posted above
