which brakes (fit behind Advan RG wheels?)
which breaks
i have an 05 wrx i am converting over to 05 sti 5x114.3 hubs so i can fit my advan rgs (17x7.5 45mm offset) which big break kit will fit? im hoping the wilwood f/r setup will work. but if not can you please help a guy out please?
The best and perhaps the only way to get that information is to measure the inner dimensions of your wheel and then compare those dims to the caliper's dims. Making carboard cutouts or templates might be helpful. There is really no clean way to do it; what calipers will fit under those wheels will have more to do with the spoke design of the RG than the offest of the wheel. I would guess fromt those wheels that you won't be able to fit the gold Brembos or Stoptechs but you might be able to fit something with a lower profile caliper like Endless. I fear that you conversion will be more trouble than it's worth to keep those wheels. You'll also need every suspension component connected to the hubs to make that swap work.

I think it is too much trouble to do the hub conversion just for this specific set of wheels. For the bbk, I wouldn't go with wilwood, just because i've heard negative things about them. Stoptech, Brembo, or Endless will be excellent choices for a bbk.
