Default Getting WRX Newage Alloys To Fit Over Brembos

Looking at getting a track set.

I swear ive seen some cars with the WRX alloys fitting over brembos with the use of spacers

I have hubcentric spacers on mine already but was wondering/checking if it can be done and if so what size spacer you running

Cheers in advance

From what I recall you need 5-10mm spacers to clear the Brembos as it is the depth and not the diameter that is an issue.

If we are talking Newage STi Brembos, the rearts fit no problem: I have some on my classic under 2004 WRX wheels.

I ALSO have Brembos on the front with 330mm two-part discs, but THEY came from Godspeed They, too, fit with no spacers.

I heard it was the depth also.

its brembos from and V8 or V7. Gold ones

I have 30mm on the front but only 25mm on rear so was just wondering if anyone had them on. unfortunately the wheels im after are 100 miles away so cant just check.

im 99.9% sure the rears fit regardless so its just front. but if its just 10mm at front i think im covered

Tell me more about these. Being 330mm, I take it you don't have the gold STi Brembo's?

I have 25mm on the front running some 17" Advan.. ended up needing around 18mm over the standard but wanted it a little wider for safety and if I change wheels that are slightly tighter. I hope it fits on my standard WRX winter wheels!
I currently only have a 5mm (non-hubcentric spacer) on the rear.. Does the 25mm you are using at the rear rub? I may get some to balance the car out.. then get tracking done etc..

They are the Grand Turismo calipers we fitted , as we make our bells much deeper than the sti discs , this gives clearance for most wheels to fit
