Keith,

They won't go over Subaru 4 pots IIRC. Any subaru 16" rim will though.

Hi Clive,

Would they fit if I got a set of spacers and extended wheel studs?
Thanks

Worth trying spacers Keith, it's so many years since I had any 15's knocking about, however rather than going to hassle of changing studs pop a set of 2 pots on. Plenty around for next to no money.
