Default Space saver fitment over Brembo

I'm looking for an 02-04 STI space saver, which is pretty hard to come by.....and pricey too.

So I'm wondering if the normal 5x100 space saver will clear the rear brembo calipers? Reason being the non-STI space savers are much cheaper and if I happen to have a puncture on the front wheel, I'll just use the space saver on the rear and pop the good rear wheel in front.

Has anyone tried fitting non-STI space saver over the rear brembo?

AFAIK the non STI space saver will not clear brembos... Kicking myself for selling mine now.

Do you have after market wheels? If you go to 18's the oem space saver becomes useless anyway.

Thanks....so you reckon they won't clear the rear brembo's too? Dammit coz I found a non-sti space saver for cheap. Got quoted $180 for the proper sti space saver from wreckers!!
