WRX wheels on STI?
Will the 16" WRX wheels fit over the brake calipers on the STI?

Why? Why? Why? Don't run stock wrx wheels/tires. A lot of guys total their cars with that.

I highly doubt the 16" factory wheel will clear the front Brembos. The rear should work though. There is barely enough clearance with the factory BBS wheels. I am not sure about the factory 17" WRX wheels though. They would make a nice winter wheel if they would fit.

no they will not, I have been researching this for a while and found even some 17's won't fit because of those front calipers

ASA KA3 are the rims I just bought.

The Tire Rack has one 17 wheel that will fit the STi. There are several others that will fit, but I don't know off hand what they are. Search Impreza.com for specifics...
