Advices on Brembo brakes conversion (and wheels selection)
Hi all,
I am considering to uprate the front and the rear brakes of a set of Gold Brembo brakes from a hawkeye STI. I have found a set but before the project can go ahead I need to make sure if the wheels on mine would clear the bigger front cailper! I have a set of Prodrive P-WRC1 18x7.5 offset+53 and may I ask that if anyone here would know the wheels are fine to clear the bigger cailper?
Many thanks,
Matt

Sorry answer is no, Prodrive do this wheel in ET53 which doesn't fit over Brembos and another version with ET46 which does fit. Also the Hawkeye discs will be drilled at 114.3 PCD and I guess your hubs will be 100 PCD so at best discs will need redrilling or replacing.
