What is involved with putting 01 wheels onto an 08 with ABS. They are stock 01 wagon type chromed four a really good price along with floating rotors?

You wont be able to use the floating rotors from an 01 as your 08 has Brembo brakes. You'll need to change the bearings to the 25mm and ABS bearings. You'll need to use the sleeves from your 08.
