SpecBlitzed Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 My First Spec B was an 07 and I miss it dearly. I own a 02 WRX with a 04 STi full drivetrain swap including the Brembos. The previous owner built an auto cross/racecar. To get to the point about a question I have. I found a 08 Spec B I called the dealer and he's getting around a price and if I like it I'll probably be purchasing it this weekend. Before a sell my WRX id like to swap the Brembos over to the Spec B. Will the factory Wheels clear the front calipers. The rear shouldnt be a problem. I plan on doing a flip flop swap Brembos swapped to the Spec B. Spec B brakes swapped to the WRX. Thanks and Iam glad to be back to the this great forum.

MTBwrench Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 I'm 95% sure that no stock USDM Legacy wheel will fit Brembos, and only some will fit the WRX 4 pot calipers. Someone more knowledgable than me should confirm this. However, if you have the 2004 STI BBS wheels on your WRX currently, those would look great on the Spec.B!

Leviman Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 The spec b would have 18s, wouldn't it? Those would probably clear if it's a diameter issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holla Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 The oem spec b wheels won't fit over Brembo's. If you have 5x100 wheels on your Wrx with Brembo's, use those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTBwrench Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 The spec b would have 18s, wouldn't it? Those would probably clear if it's a diameter issue. It's not diameter. The stock STI BBS wheels were only 17" to begin with. It's an offset issue.
