Ive got Brembos under my 17s, only just fit, about 5mm clearance. Depends on wheel type.

Yes, again depends on wheel/caliper combination.

They look a very tight fit going to have to look hard for a nice pair of 17" alloys that are going to fit over the big brake kit that i am looking to buy in the near future .

Newage Sti wheels are always a good bet on a classic

Look good and have a reasonable amount of clearance for bigger brakes

you actually need minimal clearance, those AP 330mm above on the bug are specifically designed to suit that wheel............

what kit are you looking at??

Mine were bloody tight though, barely a credit card thickness to the spokes!

They fit behind newage wheels, if they clear brembo's they should clear them

They'll certainly fit behind newage STI wheels, but going to be a tight fit under newage WRX wheels. Might fit, but not sure.

I think I need find out what alloys I can get to fit over them as I want something different instead of putting on the new age sti alloys

If you ask for a set of wheels that clear the brembo's on the newage Sti prior to 2005 then they'll fit the brakes your looking at

they (Ksport) fit behind most 17" wheels as they require far less clearance than the likes of the new-age Brembo's...........

can normally sort a deal on Ksport if your buying new.........
