Need some help... Want to get Brembos

I have a 1999 Impreza 2.5 RS with ROTA Wheels - Tarmac(Gold)(17x7.5) - Size: 17X7.5
PCD/Offset: 4x100+45mm
PCD/Offset: 4x114.3+45mm
PCD/Offset: 5x100+48mm
PCD/Offset: 5x114.3+45mm

I hear that the Brembo Big Brake Kit is good to get if i can fit them. Problem is i can't figure out if i can, I know they require 17 inch rims at least which I have. I just wanted to make sure.

Or if another brake kit is better let me know - I haven't decided on Brembo for sure yet.

Im trying to attach a pic of the brembo's i want - it might not work... lol

No, your wheels won't clear them. That was the exact reason that Rota came out with the Tarmac II's

sounds like the Subaru 4pots are your best choice.

The Stop-tech BBK might work.

Brembo has 3 kits for Subaru.

The STi one.
The 332x32 w/ F50 caliper
The 298x28 w/ Lotus caliper

All 3 require 17" wheel.

The STi sticks out the most, so you can test fit your wheel onto an STi and if they clear the STi brakes, you are good to go.

Or you can get a set of TWR's. There BBK comes w/ 4piston caliper a 310mm rotors for the stock wrx rims or the same caliper w/ 328mm rotor. They even have brackets so you can apply those same 4 pot calipers to the rear and put 6 pots in the front.
Also i have a set and 1 other guy in hawaii, the only 2 i know of.
