Default Do Inovit Tarmac 17" fit STi Brembos?

Will these fit my 2002 STi brembos (17" Inovit Tarmac wheels)? The advert says it will, but I need to check to make sure. Does anyone have them fitted already, and are they a straight fit?

Where does the advert say they will?

I've looked at both twice, and can't see it mentioned.

I had the same/similar wheels on my car, they didn't go anywhere near clearing Brembo's.

If these are the same, they barely clear OEM 4 pot calipers.

Go for the 18 inch wheels and tyres as a package at least then you can uprate your brakes in future. Without the oops need more new wheels.

pmsl....hey Micky, look at the title of the item....WRX STi 2000-2002

I spoke to Jason at Scoobybits and he seems to think that they don't fit brembos either.

So, in the end I'm waiting on my 18" Tarmac alloys arriving....can't wait to get the OEM gold wheels off, or "Yellow Wheels" as my wife calls them !!

Cheers for the advice guys, I'm sure I'll be happy with the 18's.

Combination of the 18" diameter and the offset allowing room for the callipers .
