Hello,
i´ve read many threads, but i´m not sure if i´m right.
After all lines i´ve read, the wrx sti brembos (front) with 5x100 pcd (my01-04) will fit plug´n play - is this right?

Hi,

Check out www.scoobytuner.com they have a special on the Wilwwod 6F, 4R superlite kit for Nov. These will enable standard wheel clearance. They bolt straight up but Im getting them to check the rears for any hand (park) brake compatability issues.

Hope that helps.

Thank you for the answer. If, then i would go for the Brembo ones. Would there fit the 7x18 rims without problems?

Depending of what offset the wheel is. Brembo's don't fit under alot of wheels. stock aus ones, no

its not so much the offset but the spoke design.

ive got 8.5 +38 on the front of my car (and thats pretty low offset for most people on the forum) and brembos will fit in by a country mile

Just so you know blacktop, the +38 offset will give 17mm extra clearance than the +55 offset the stock wheels have (provided the spoke design is the same). The extra 1.5" (3/4 inch each side) doesn't hurt either.

well yeah thats true...but if the widths were the same then it would be 17mm less.

the extra 1.5 inches would be more beneficial if it had say a 235/40 rather than a 225/40 stretched across it :D

what im trying to say is if you got a two different types of wheels that are the same width and offset, just cos one may fit brembos doesnt mean the other will.

that is certainly the case
