If you wanna keep your current wheels, get some hubcentric spacers and longer wheel studs. Not sure what size you'll need.
Or get some STi wheels off a newage.

hi m8 you need a 53 offset for brembos, stay away from spacers if possible geo

I am running 18" GRA's over Brembo's.... the GRA is designed to fit over them that's odd, what discs are you using ?

If your interested i will have a set of 17" BBS magnesium wheels available shortly. They were removed from a 2003 JDM sti. The are 5x100 pcd so they will fit classic shape imprezas. These wheels were an optional extra on JDM cars as far as i know.

They look very similar to the alloys as fiited to the cars with 5x114 pcd (2005 onwards 10 spoke)

They dont come with tyres - even if they did the 235's fitted to a JDM car are way to wide for a classic.
