you can fit your brembos if you use spacers on the wheels.

Hmm ok I wonder how big a spacer? Would need certifying if using spacers.













Spare wheel clears them.

Look atthe curves on the space saver - there is a lot of clearance on them, that's why those STi space savers are in such high demand.

At a guess you'd need at least 12mm spacers to clear the brake caliperes, possibly 15mm.

In aus they are called cs9 rims. From the 06 wrx club spec 9. Which only have Subaru 4 pot brakes. In the states they were sold as specb liberty rims aswell. If you have a picture of the front brembos on they have got spacers on. Rears might fit without them

The stock wheels will clear rear Brembo calipers.

Yes can you please ask?

I paid about $1700 for this set of wheels and tyres in Japan just to have them over aftermarket wheels. (thats how much I like them).
