Question

Anyone put the front and rear STi Brembo's on a non-STi WRX? I think the fronts are not a problem except having wheels to fit the brakes. I've heard the rears are a much bigger problem, involving things like new hubs and the like. Looking for any sort of confirmation of this.

Thanks!

No totaly wrong.
They are bigger but work on the same principle.
The problem comes with the fronts as they are sooooo big.
I am selling mine if you are interested.

They are bolt-on, but wheel spoke clearance is the issue. Hell, you could put them on a Legacy B4 too (in fact, any Legacy) - with the right wheels.

Good luck m8.

Its not a problem as long as you have STI alloys to go over those rather large calipers (different offset, something like 45 compared to 48-52)

The offset on the STi wheels is 53mm.
I think it's the actual spoke shape which is different.

Mike's right - the off-set is 53 on the STi7 wheels.

The ET 48s I have clear them, as do quite a few after market wheels here (where you see cars running wheels with as litlle as ET 40!).
