Default Will these fit ?

I have some Volk GT-C 18x7.5 with a 48mm offset . Ive looked and did some research but I want to be sure that they will fit my 2006 STi . Oh yeah its the correct bolt pattern as well, I took them off my Acura TSX .

It will fit, but why would you want wheels that are 1/2" narrower than the stockers? Well, since you already have it, I guess you can just throw them on for the looks. I'd imagine they would be pretty deep in the fenders, though, due to them being only 7.5" wide.

The numbers are ok, but the question is whether the spokes will clear brembos or not.

Since you already have it, try throwing one on in the front and see everything clears. It will only take 5 min...
