Brembo 4-Pot clearance on a classic
Hi, anyone have at hand measurements of the clearance required for a set of Brembo 4-Pots on a classic?
I am going to try and fit them behind the following alloys:

Would be handy if I could measure up the gaps etc but I will find out when I stick the brembo's on next week.

at the moment there aren't a huge range of wheels which will fit.
Prodrive do a couple of wheels in an 18 inch size. One is a OZ 10 spoke WRC/P1 style wheel, which is available in a matt gold colour, or silver.
There is also a 7 spoke alloy called the PFF7, which is a lightweight wheel using the latest flowforming technology. This is available in gold, silver or bright flitter (actually like a pweter/metallic anthracite colour).
Speedline also sell the Turini model in an 18 inch wheel which will fit. THis again uses the flowforming technology to make the wheels both lightweight and strong.
The OZ Superlegarra wheels will fit in the 19 inch size, but unfortunately not the 18 inch size.
Other than the standard 17 inch rims which come with the car, I'm not aware of any other 17 inch rims which will clear the STi Brembo calipers without using spacers (which I wouldn't recommend).

I spoke with OZ and Speedline recently, they are aware of the STI calipers issue and the modified 17 Superleggera (OZ) and Corse (Speedline) in gold will be released shortly, especially for the STI7-8. They should be available in europe until the end of first quarter, for the same price as the 17s for the WRX.

Cheers Alcazar, I have the gold 4-Pot Brembo Calipers and Performance Fricton Disc's to go up front (293mm I think).
I think the gold OZ have the standard clearance so they should fit over, I will hopefully know in a couple of days when I dry fit the setup

the gold O.E Brembo requires more clearance than the small family caliper used in various aftermarket kits like Ians............not sure on those specific wheels
and they are 326mm fo the fronts..............
