I run K sport 8 pot on my std WRX 06 17" wheels so I can run 45 series tyres and they are fine bud

It depends on the type of wheel , most will be quite close .

We can make spacers for you to get that extra clearance

Looking at a mates Newage Sti today i noticed that brembos are bigger than the Ksports, so with that in mind, i suppose all wheels that clear brembos should be ok

I've just done the same changed from 18's to 17's, Had brembos before and now running K psorts, The K sport caliper is thinner by approx 18-20mm, ie I couldn't get my finger between the caliper and the back of the spoke with the brembos and now you can.

I've just changed to 17" Work Emotion CR Kai wheels and they only just clear the K Sports, pretty much the same offset of the standard WRX wheels
