Fitment question: Clearing STI Brembos
Looking to possibly get a new set of wheels. My car is currently lowered on Progress springs and STi Tarmac inverted struts.
Anyways, the wheels I may end up getting are Volk TE37 17x8 +48 with 225/45/17 tires. I was wondering if these would clear my Brembo calipers in the front w/o running a spacer. Any feedback appreciated!

Careful - those wheels aren't 17x8 unless something changed. A narrow 225 all-season doesn't look like that on an 8" wheel. The ones the dude is selling are 17x7.5 ET48, they'll clear Stoptechs but not the Brembos. Make sure you test-fit. The only 17" TE37's that clear STI Brembos are the 17x8 ET44. There was never a 17x8 ET48 made by Volk to my knowledge.
