Default Brembo Brake advice please asap?

Ok peeps would these fit my car being a 2001 Bugeye and on the standard 17's they are on and would I need any brackets making up if so where from ?

Has anyone ever used spacers on these wheels to make these type of brakes fit?

New wheels or spacers, iirc it's the clearance to the wheel spokes that's an issue with the WRX alloys.

Yes there is someone on here running brembo's without spacers. Mickey something I think.

Someone also mentioed that they do rub the calipers with them wheels, but not for long

I'll try and find that post, about the spacers.

Buy the time you have bought spacers and longer studs fitted them it would be more cost/time effective to buy some STI rims.

Hi mate, I now have a set of Brembo's that came up very cheap so would rather get spacers if i know 100% they will fit and work or the new refurbish wheels will have to go but the money i spent on them having them redone was unreal but the finish is proper good!

Do you know where I can get the spacers from and is it 10mm I need or 16 or would 16mm be to much?
