Anyone running or know if the wheels from the new BRZ performance package fit over the Stage 2 RR kit?

I'm completely confident the PP wheels will fit over stage 1/3 kits since OEM wheels only need a 5mm spacer to fit comfortably over those kits but not certain about the 2/4 kits. I understand Brembo calipers are usually on the "wide" side of the spectrum for brake calipers so chances are good that even the stage 2/4 kits will fit under the PP wheels but I just can't promise that without more information on the sizing of the PP Brembos.

Oh yes, my mistake, I was confusing the stages. 1/3 have the slim caliper, 2/4 have the wide caliper. Will edit my post for clarity.

I'm considering the stage 2 kit.
Here is the fitment for my Mach V Awesome wheels with the template for the stage 2 kit. It has plenty of clearance, thankfully Here's the clearance between the caliper and the wheel spokes with a ruler to help gauge the distance: |

Oh guess I can post, SP kit fits behind whatever the hell these wheels are:
They're 17x7 +48 but that's about all I can find about them. |

I just checked the template on my wheels, Sparco Assetto Gara 17x7.5 +48, and while the SP was too close for comfort, the Stage 1 had tons of room to spare. The SP caliper juts out a bit more than the Stage 1, based on the template anyway.

Installed these the other day and have confirmed fitment of the Stage 1 kit with 17x7.5 +48 Sparco Assetto Gara wheels. Also got the sport performance rears. Initially immediately after install, the rears were dragging like some others have experienced. It felt like the parking brake was partially engaged. After bedding the brakes it's fine now. Initial impressions, I'm just on BP10's and my mileage is split about 50/50 between daily driving and touge/canyon carving (I live at the base of our mountain). Brakes feel good running hard. I can go faster and deeper into my brakes zones with more confidence. And the car feels like it doesn't dive as much. Also, there is less heat being transferred to the wheels (touching the spokes of the rims after a run, it's cooler than before). Regarding noise, one squeak before proper bed in on a slower turn (windows down). And once on a turn when I got them pretty hot (windows down). Otherwise I haven't heard any other squealing yet. Cold bite was surprisingly lacking. And hot bite I wish was a bit better. But for DD duty it's fine. Maybe I'll try BP20's next? Pic of the car with it installed... The calipers are painted black with no logo. Except for the larger/slotted rotors, it's pretty discrete and doesn't draw extra attention to itself, which I like...

Or run purely street pads, like ceramic hawks. |
