Default What wheels are these, and will they clear brembos?

Soryy for the muppet question all. I have been offered these wheels, which are 17's, and standard Impreza by the look of it, but I dont know which one.

I was wondering if anyone knew from the pic, and importantly, if they would clear Brembo's?

They won't clear New-Age Brembo's without spacers.

They are standard WRX newage / bugeye 17" wheels as the spokes are parallel. The pic by rpsxr shows STi wheels which have very slightly divergent spokes and a dimpled rim.

As Dunx says the boggo 17" wrx wheels will not clear the Brembo's. However they will just clear the Godspeed bigger brake kit.

When we are talking spacers, what sort of size? I can live with 3-5mm, but bigger than that not happy to use, as its to chuck a set of track tyres on.

I fitted some Godspeed big brakes to my Bugeye WRX with the OEM wheels and they *just* cleared the calipers.

I can't imagine the spacers will be that big...you need to find somewhere local to have a look for you

Update for those interested- spoke to a guy called Keith at revolution, who was very helpful.

Spacer wise, more likely 10-15mm so going to get a diff set of wheels.

anyone got any 17's to clear Brembos................
