Don't know if they will clear or not but what makes the wheels different is the design and offset.

7.5" width plus a specific inner profile seems to be needed for Brembos.

I haven't seen that the standard specB 18x7 don't fit but then again a 'selling feature' of the STi wheel is that it does clear Brembos so from that I infer that the standard wheels do not.

Mike if I do get the fifth STi wheel, do you want me to call you?... :wink:

Brembos and pinks go on in ten days time. THEN the car is finished (for the time being :D )
