Default HELP. Hawkeye WRX Wagon+Brembos..which wheels?

I have a 2007 hawkeye WRX wagon which has the standard Subaru front calipers. I am going to fit Brembos and obviously will have to go to 18" wheels.
Bearing in mind its a wagon does anyone know which wheels will fit over the Brembos and stay within the wagon arches?
Any help,advice,pics appreciated.

Thanks

Tha Brembos fit under WRX wheels at the rear. At the front I think you need to go to STi wheels.

Anything I can do to help mate. Lol.

I went for innovit redlines as they clear fine, or the pp7f prodrive fit too. Seen them on wagon so hopefully they will tuck in the wagon aches!

Mmmmm wagon wheels.....

Correct, although I believe the offset of the STI wheels and WRX wheels are different, hence why they fit.
There's a post somewhere either on NASIOC or similar listing 17's that will clear Brembos if you wanted to stick to a smaller size.

Apparently, most of the ROTA 17" range will also fit with the correct offset.

Hi

As mentioned above, most of the Rota range of wheels will clear the calipers.
Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2s, OZ Allegeritas and OZ Ultralegerras also fit without fouling the Brembos.

Hope this helps
