I have New age 17" wheels on my MY97WRX with the 335 kit, the spoke to caliper clearance is very small but have not had any problems in the 4 years the kits been on there.

Not sure what my wheels are, i know they're 'Rota', but i can't remember the name.....
I can however show you a picture.....
Extremely happy with the kit, amazing stopping power given the cost.......

LOL 
Not very mechanically minded me Long day Ron . . . .
Yeah they were fine with the four pots but when the caliper mounting bracket threw the caliper out closer to the edge of the wheel they would no longer fit underneath the spokes - the spokes taper in a smidge from the centre of the wheel to the rim. It's about 2mm shy. In the end I had to plump for some spacers . . . I was'nt a happy bunny tbh.

Just checked now. 3mm spacers was enough to get the required clearances on these wheels - Yup theres plenty of thread left, the spacers are enough to stop the wheels sitting on the hub on there own though.

Thanks to all that have replied :)
I do currently have the 335 kit (nice upgrade from standard for the money) but the current wheels are very worn & look tired so going to get some new ones instead of refurbing the current ones.
I have a STI 5 & did wonder about the 18's but worry about the harsher ride I will get from 17's.
I do like the OZ ones to be honest but may be influenced if other ones look good.
Once again thanks for all the replies as its helping a lot.
Cheers Andy

I have looked at two wheels which are the OZ Racing UltraLeggera & Red Line Alloys on the Scooby Parts site. The OZ wheels are approx 800 & the Red Line are only 350. Would there be a noticable difference in the wheels ? I do like the Red Line wheels but wondering if the quality is okay compared to the OZ wheels.
Cheers Andy.

If your on about the Inovite Redline wheels , I used these on my M3 rally car , I modified the hubs to fit the Subaru wheels on , they were 18" though not 17 , but cant see the quality being any different. They were very strong , I did break and bend a couple , but at the same time I bent the swinging arm ! so it had a right beating.
If they are good enough for rallying they are well up to the job on a road car.
Make sure you do get the redline wheels , as the first 4 I bought were from Dare , and they are available from other places with different badges on , these ones have a hollowed out spoke behind and are weak , I used these on a couple of smooth tarmac rallies and the spoke cracked , you can feel it by putting you fingers round the back of the spokes.
Here are the wheels in action in Ireland earlier this year
Hope this helps

Hi Tony
The offer will be for a couple of weeks
The rear Brembo discs and caliper off the STi will fit straight onto your car , if you get the MY05 onwards discs they will need re-drilling to suit your stud pattern which I can do for you , all you will need is the thicker shoe's we had made as the handbrakes are larger on the brembo set up.

this means no spiggot rings or extra holes drilled for multi-fitment. I have a set on mine they are nice. They are a little darker than in the picture on the advert.

How much would the thicker shoes be on their own (£195 for the full classic brembo kit isn't it?)
