I don't think they do but I could be wrong. Shame you're not closer because you could try one over my brakes.

Cheers mate. TBH I didn't think about it. I mean to find somebody with 4 pots and check if they will fit. Actually one of my mates from work has W reg Impreza with 4 pots :-)
Will try and let You know.
Thanks a lot.

Yeah that's the easiest way My wheels if they were what we thought they were (speedline safari's) they wouldn't have fitted over 4 pots so I just bolted up the caliper & disk without the hose etc and it confirmed that they fitted and my wheels aren't standard

Any others know these alloys ? Cannot find any Info on the internet. It says MiM by Speedline on the centre cap. Still want to know if these will clear 4 pots because my mate went on holidays and I can`t check on his car.

Drischnie,
Are You 100% SURE that you've had exactly these alloys?
I was told that they won't CLEAR 4 pots.

SORRY SORRY SORRY SORRY SORRY SORRY!!!!!!!! :-( :-( :-(

Today i have installed new Pads and Discs.... and i have seen...... :

2mm spacers !!! and with this spacers the calipers are REALLY close to the
wheels like i said, so without spacers they 100% do not fit.

So sorry again, didnt know and seen that there are the little japanese 2mm spacers...

No probs mate :-)
I've noticed that they won't fit without the spacers.
I fitted them with 3mm spacers and now I've got about 1mm clearance between wheel and the caliper.
