Sorry.
In my post, I made mention of the fact that the SVX caliper mounts sit further out than the WRX. Hence, where the STi 4 pots on a WRX have a 295mm disc, the same calipers on an SVX require about 320mm. If you go to the Brembo's, (which on an STi require a 320mm disc), by the same logic, you'll be needing something like about 345mm disc. That's one big disc.  Matt

finally got a chance to fit up the Brembos today... Once again, not fully but good enough for me to be confident... I fully believe now that the STi brakes are a direct bolt up to our hub. I will go ahead and complete my order for the brakes and I will order a new set of rotors with the 5x114.3 lug pattern to fit em up... good news for all of us

I just tried an STi caliper at the dyno since the operator was nice enough to let me borrow one of his old ones. It was his rotor. I will be getting just calipers from my source and new rotors for the 05+

So... to clarify everything. The calipers were from what year STi? And were they USDM calipers? The rotors that you are getting are from an 05+ STi?

from an 04 USDM Sti. I am getting calipers from a JDM sti ver8 dunno what year... The calipers are the same between the JDM and USDM cars from what I understand but I am still waiting on rotor thickness confirmation

So, assuming that one has a set of 2005 STI Brembo calipers, what rotor diameter would one need and what wheel size would be required to clear the caliper?
From this thread, seems like there was a major caliper change from 2004 STI to 2005 STI. I think I understand that the 2004 STI calipers would require a 320mm rotor on an SVX, while the 2005 STI calipers would require a 345 mm rotor. The 320mm might fit under a 17" wheel, while I would bet the 345mm would require an 18" wheel.

actually the only change in the 04-05 was the bolt pattern I firmly believe that was a mis-print on the page. So I think the calipers are the same but the bolt pattern on the rotors was different. I wold check Nasioc before being compeltely sure

I think you're correct in saying that it was a mis-print. Several '05+ STi owners run 17x8" Rota wheels (Torques, Boost, etc) with their stock calipers & rotors.
