And the right 16¬s at that !

My 17" wheels are ET48 and just just clear the edge of the 4 pots, you can get about 3 pieces of paper stuck together between my 4 pots and the wheel spoke, so be careful what wheels u do get,make sure the ET is correct

No the standard early 15's will never fit , if you get a motorsport wheel they will fit , you can pick these up for about £40 -£50 each second hand if you wanted to fit 15's.

Here are one of the type's of wheels I have , these are the racelines

Bit of a thread resurrection but I'm sure I have read somewhere that these particualr OEM alloys allow clearance for 4 pots

Anyone ?

I am almost certain they won't clear 4 pots.

No Subaru 15" OEM wheel will fit over 4 pots, Hence why subaru changed the design of the wheel on the classics to accommodate the 4 pots
