17's on Evo X
Hello all!
I know that this has been a much debated topic. I believe 17s will fit in the rear due to the caliper being smaller. Obviously not in the front. Is there any options out there to swap JUST the front brakes? maybe to 8/9 brakes or STI/WRX? Anyone have any info?
Thank you

You can't just bolt up the 8/9 brakes. The calipers use a smaller bolt (12mm vs 14mm). So, you would need to drill and tap the caliper mounting lus on the 8/9 calipers, or buy a small brake kit from STM.
