Dabow.

Is your car a classic or newage?

If it's a classic with a Brembo upgrade then wheels from new age will be no good as they are the wrong PCD

Only if you get them from an 05 onwards STi.I have them on my classic.

The brembo's have about 5mm clearence from memory. But they are made to cover the brembo's, so its not an issue at all.

the pcd upto 05 are 100, after this. it changed to 114
so the sti wheels upto this year will fit.

the only issue with the wheels from what i know. is there quite wide, taking upto a 235 tyre. where as the classic will take a 215 all day long with the right off set.

Cool, ta, I thought the change was earlier than that!

Still, an important point though!

There is normally a few sets on here. Think there is a set for 375 at the mo, but thats way to much IMO. I paid 200 for mine with tyres like new, but they were newage 225's. So had to get them swapped with my classic tyres.
