They will fit, but you need at least 17" wheels and to either use spacers or get a wheel that has enough clearance for the caliper as it is very wide. Most 17" wheels won't have enough clearance for the caliper, so I'd check first.

Thumbs up

Kurt, I would go further than that and say that you will need a set of STI7 wheels, in order to clear the caliper, however the standard tyres will be too wide and foul on the wheel-arches

You will need at least STi7 wheels, with correct tyre for an older car, same kinda thing as with normal MY01 wheels on older cars.

The brembo's are very big! If you don't like the STi 7 wheels then Prodrivr has released another wheel which will go over the brembos.

Or spacers could be used, which is what I've had to do with my somewhat large movit calipers

Exclamation

Apologies to Markus, but spacers are NOT a good idea......

If you want to put Brembos on, go for the ScoobySport kit - go under any 17" wheel.
