Yes if they are Subaru fitment, horrible wheels though and I'm sure Elmer will agree

I have a Bugeye ( 01 ) WRX, and have Brembo's but can't fit them as my wheels wont allow fitment .

I need some wheels that clear Brembos now

Richie, what's wrong with them ?

i might be wrong but these are the wheels that were suggested to me when i had the tarox ten pot conversion, didnt like em, but if they would fit over them i would imagine they will fit over the brembo calipers.

wrx,

I can see what you mean, but the more pots you have, the smaller the pots are, so maybe a 10 pot has more clearance than a 4 ???

Anyone have a definitive answer, maybe if you have an STi Brembos fitted with these wheels ?

no probs mate, i can see where you are coming from as well, the pistons are smaller and therefore the caliper is smaller also.

hope you get it sorted soon.

Don't Crossroads Garage run 18" supers with 363 mm AP set-up, so should easily clear std. Brembos.... P.S. put 19" on mine

p.p.s. have you seen the price of pads for a ten pot set-up..... stoopid !
