    Not sure if they're the same but it has to have the brembos on them. I need to test fit a set of 18x10 +30 offset 5x114.3 on them to see if this wheel will clear the brembos. I know the back will be ok but I'm concerned on the front. I will pay you for your time and will meet anywhere within the atlanta, alpharetta, marietta, kennessaw area.

    Can we meet some time soon? I'll bring my jacks and let you jack it up since I know some doing like others touching their rides. It should only take 30 min or less. Anytime this weekend or next weekend?

    Don't you have an '07 Matt? I thought of your car when I saw this post, but didn't know if the '07 was the same as the '04/'05 which the OP asked about...

    So I met up with Matt and had the wheels test fitted on there. They will clear the brembos just fine. About 2-3cm of space between the caliper and wheel. AND you will need aggressive camber to fit these on an acura...LOL! Matt, you know you want these drifter style wheels...heheheeh...

    Thanks again man. I owe you once these are sold.

    BTW, I know these will fit the 08'-11' WRX/STi wagon style. With some fender rolling and/or pulling.

    If they were an 18x9, I'd be all over them! They looked great on the TL, but far too wide for my liking.

    It looks way too hokey pokey to daily drive without aggressive camber on that acura. LOL! Not practical for driving around. On an 08'-10', would be a different story since there's no need for crazy camber. Fender roll and pull. I've seen this same exact wheel on an 08' STi wagon.
