wheels dont fit 4pots
hi iv recently fitted 4pots to the front of my 97 classic and my 17s wouldnt fir bk prop so having to use more spacers then i want to. iv been planning on getting my self a set of 18s but what i want to know is how do i know if my new wheels will fit b4 i order? thanx
You need to start by telling us EXACTLY what brakes you now have. "4-pots" encompasses a multitude of brakes.
On my 98 car, for example, I have 4-pot Brembos, but they are the slightly smaller calipers as sold at one time by Godspeed, and they DO fit under WRX01 onwards wheels. The Newage Brembos don't
When looking for wheels, an ET of 48-53 is usually right for Scoobs.
Have a word with M4GGY on here, he knows what will and won't fit. Ian Godney knows a lot too, as does Alyn at ASPerformance.

What 17" wheels do you have that don't clear them? Got a picture, ideally of the wheels and brakes?
From what you say, I would assume they are OEM 4 pots.

he is right,my wife upgraded her two pot front calipers on her classic to four pots subaru calipers and has had numerous different wheel sizes over the years without a fitment issue over the calipers.
PLUS: on a classic, 17" is pretty much as big as you want to go if you want to keep the ride and handling.....
To say this bloke has something wrong with his car just because he has the 2%, is a bit over the top.

Aye that's fair enough, but, when there's a good few 16's that clear, then it's crap luck with a set of 17's.
I know what you mean. There are also 15's that will clear. The only time I have ever had issues with wheels not fitting over brakes is with Scooby's. I suppose its better than the slidng calipers they seem to put on most "hot hatches" and the like.
