Raeson I ask, is deciding whether I should be putting the spare wheel back in the car, just in case...

My understanding is that the Stock 18" rims DO clear the rear Brembos BUT not the fronts.

+1 - I carry a stock rim for that reason. Just double handling /changing if the front goes... :evil:

As mentioned In the STI centre caps thread...I have a spare 18" Enkei rim 7.5" wide +55 offset that clears brembos if anyone is interested...may have a spare tyre kicking around too.

Why not buy a rim that you can fit on the front or rear.... Maybe I'll take a photo of mine and stick it in the For Sale thread
