Default Bugger!!! Didn't fit!!!

Tried an Inovit STVI on my car yesterday.....looked absolutely superb, but wouldn't clear the Brembos without a 5mm spacer.

I'm not willing to go that route, so I guess I'll just have to look for alternative wheels.

I want 18's, but don't want to go for PFF7's....too many of them about! Advan RS look sweeeeeeeet, but cost sweeeeeet too!!

If anyone sees Sammy H, tell him I want his wheels!! (I know.....they are 19's)

Know anyone selling cheap Volk TE37's....eh....eh??

Hmm I was gonna get these, but if they dont clear the Brembos they are no good.

The innovit website says they will, what offset was the wheel you tried?

Lifted from innovit FAQ:-

Q.would these fit a 04 model Impreza and clear the brembo brakes??
A.They do, they will, and they have!! The only finish currently available is Bronze for the imprezas, but the GunMetal is due back in stock around mid-late april

Inovit. Inovit ST VI 18 X 7.5 Gunmetal Polish Lip set of 4 wheels and tyres

4th question at the bottom of page!

Hmmmmmmmm.

I've e-mailed Inovit to see if they are available in a different offset to suit my car. Mine's a MY05 by the way, so has 114mm PCD.....maybe the wheels with this pcd aren't available in the correct offset?

I await their reply.
