Is it safe to assume these clear Brembos since the first pic is an STi? And if so, which wheels, if not all?

only the AE051 and AE033 clear the brembo.

AE032 is forged. About $399 each wheel.

Agree, they look really nice and with these specs 17 x 8.5 44mm offset, 5x 100, on a STi...

Would the 04 STi stock tires (225/45 R17) be wide enough on 8.5"? or 235 fits better with no rubbing?

Thanks

You said AE032 gold ONLY for GC8, how come they are on Legacy in your pics? I wonder if AE034 have gold to fit my WRX?

225s fit on 8.5 but may look stretched. Run 235 or 245s if you can.

orwrx: AE034 will fit wrx. AE032 comes only in 17 x7 which is good for Legacy and GC8, but not WRX.
