    I know, I know, this has probably been asked and answered. Looking for a little guidance from the old guys, (you know who you are...).
    I'm selling a set of RPF1 17x9 with an ET 0f 45.
    I was asked if they would clear brembos on an 04 STI. I believe they will clear the Brembos, but there will be wheel well and fender fitment issues.
    Anyone attempted this on an 04?

    PS;
    I don't have them listed on here yet, the whole picture sharing deal. These are in great shape, gold, no TPMS. Tires are RE-01, but 2 are ok, and 2 will need to be replaced.

    If 17's won't clear brembos then they bought a super car. Typically when people ask me if wheels fit their car i point them to https://tiresize.com/calculator/

    They will NOT clear brembos.

    The 17x9 +35 require a 8mm spacer to clear them. So a+45 would need around 18mm

    Yes, a 17 inch wheel will fit over brembos. But not all wheels have the needed caliper to spoke clearance.
