Question sti7 brembo brakes

hi,

i just bought a wrx sport wagon euro type my2002 and i'd like to fit the complete braking system from the sti 7.
i know they will fit easily but the problem is i don't know if the original wheels have enough room for those brakes.

thanks
daniel

Minimum 17" wheels needed to clear the Brembos. Not all 17" wheels will clear them though. Some 18" wheels wont clear them either

Original 17" WRX wheels will foul the front calipers which are a bit large.

Does the car the brakes are coming from have its original wheels as you will need the STi offset and clearance whether it is orig. or aftermarket.

You need a 17" wheel with an ET of 53 to clear them.

As already said may aswell just get a set of orig STI wheels to save you lots of hassle and the need for spacers.
