Default 4 Pots and 17's

Hi,
I've provisionally fitted one of my 4 pots before i strip/paint it. However it looks very close to my wheel...

4 pots and WRX 17s do go, they come out of the factory that way! I had the godspeed 335mm setup under the wrx alloys. Now that was close to the alloy!!

They are standard disc's, no conversion kit.
I can't turn the wheel at the moment as the rocker cover is off to fix a leaking gasket.

They look fine mate - seen smaller gaps than that. Remember, if they clear nothing is going to change when they rotate.

I'd be more worried about your wheel nuts sticking out by an inch.

Widetrack STIs from about 2004/05 onwards and hawk STIs went to 5x114, but before that all were 5x100. They are newage WRX alloys in your pic

I have Brembos on mine with those wheels

The rears fit with Ian's fitting kit, the fronts are the Brembo calipers supplied by Ian at one time, I think they are Gran Turismo, but they fit with 330 mm discs
