You mean (0.875, 0.875, 0.875), right?  Your original struct file
had (0,0,0) and (1/4, 1/4, 1/4), but WIEN wants the origin of the
unit cell at the inversion point, so it displaces all the coodinates
by (-1/8,-1/8,-1/8).

You were probabaly looking only at the primitive cell.

Below is a struct file for bulk Silicon:
