Default Sti brembos - wheels that fit

Currently have a set of 18" prodrive wheels with the gold brembo calipers , is there any possible way I can use spacers are whatever else is out there to make a set of 15" wheels fit ? Have a set of rally snow tyres 15" I'm looking to get on for the winter . Is it at all possible are is it a case of changing to smaller calipers ?
Any help would be greatly appriated
Cheers

Is it a case of getting smaller calipers then ? What sort do they use on the rally cars that run the 15" wheels ?

yes they will BUT you require a specific clearance on the rim, generally the competition orientated manufactured ones.............Speedline, OZ, Compomotive, etc.

the traditional grpN new-age STi gravel cars ran on 15" wheels and 17" on Tarmac
they swapped the Tarmac spec gold Brembo calipers all round to the "Subaru" 4pot and 2pot set-up as used on the Type-R/STi RA cars for gravel
