Default Classic wrx with sti 4 pots Problem

Hey guys i have got myself some 4 pot sti brakes for my wrx as the brakes are pretty shocking anyway being abit dumb i didnt think about the wheels as mine are stock wrx ones

So my question is can i get some spacers to make them fit if so what size ? maybe someone has done this before ?

Or will i need the sti wheels so i can fit them

cheers

I'm guessing you've an early WRX and the calipers have SUBARU embossed on them like these?



These wheels fit over them



and they can be picked for nearly no money.

Or is it a later WRX and you have/want to fit Brembos?

In which case, afaik, you need STi wheels too

new wheels would look better im sure but be careful to get the right offset and width.
some spacers will move the wheel out alright you'l want to check the length of the thread engagement on the stud afterwards though

Have a look throught traders on this site for bargains.

These 2 styles will definately go over 4 pots and are original Subaru wheels
