Saw some seven spoke Speedlines the other day A5 WRX? - do they fit over AP 4pots

I need to get rid of my 16 inch wheels as they simply no longer cope with the increased power the car has!

If they are the Prodrive 7 spoke Speedline wheels, then yes, they will clear the AP 4 pot kit no problems at all, with about 5 - 8 mm between the wheel and the caliper.

I always found this subject a bit of a bizarre thing... but the RB5 comes with both these wheels and 4pots? or am I wrong..
dunno where there rumour that they won't fit was started?

ho ho JGM

I understand they will only fit if a spacer has been put in ... as I have the same problem

I have the 7 spoke Speedline wheels on my car, and am running the AP 4 pot 330mm kit, with no spacer, and a good 5mm of clearance between caliper and the inside of the wheel.

The original Speedline Superturismo design (6 double spokes) will not clear the any 4 pot caliper without a spacer of some sort. The wheels fitted to the RB5 are a different design (though they look similar), which have been designed with sufficient clearance.
