Might have the wrong offset wheels?

Longer studs and spacers or ditch the wheels and get something nice

Most of the classic wheel will not fit over the STi Brembo's , they dont fit under the P1 17" and 18" wheels , whoever told you they would fit has told you porkies !

If you have room in the arch , the only way you will fit them is with wheel spacers

5mm spacers + spigot rings problem solved.A big difference from the wrx standard four pots.Cost a few quid to get sorted but worth it in the end.
