Question about wheels......
in a noob whenn it comes to wheels. I found a sweet deals on rpf1s with tires and its 17x8 +35 offset..... My question is will those wheels clear my brembos with that kind of offset?
that size clears evos brembos, but that offset is going to stick out quite a bit on a STi/wrx body compared to stock, depending on tire size and suspension you may need to roll your fenders/run a bunch o camber

As long as you have an 05, it should fit. But yeah, fender mods needed most likely

17x8 +35 will be fine. i run 17x8 +45 rpf1s on my wagon fairly low and i dont have a problem/didnt have a problem with brembos, and the offset of your wheels should be just fine. im assuming you have an 05+ sti otherwise those wheels off the evo will not have the correct bolt pattern. if you do have a 05 sti you wont have problem with clearance due to the extra fender flares. it will just look hot, so do it.

thats the cool part about the rpf1's though, u get 17s and the brembos fill them up like woah. if the thought that they *sometimes* look like 16s to some people bothers you then yea, maybe the 18s are a better choice, but imo 18x8 just isnt as cool, youd need to go wider...
