Default Classic wheels and Newage wheels

What is the difference?? I have heard people say that wheels for a classic won't fit on a new age, yet people put new age wheels on classics?????

It's mainly the offset and tyres that don't fit. It'll be rare to find classic wheels that fit a New Age with 4-pot Brembos because of the large clearance needed between calliper & wheel, but many should fit over the standard WRX's brakes.

The tyres are normally one profile set out - classics in 17" are normally 215/40/17 were as the New Age are 225/45/17, so if your getting some, your best getting them without tyres and source your own.
