Just seen a set of 15" for sale, anyone know how these would behave on my MY01 WRX, it has the Prodrive Eibachs fitted.

TIA

Exclamation

Jack
I stand to be corrected, but from memory believe only 16" and bigger wheels will go over 4 pots.

Jack,
All is not lost, you can fit 15" wheels to your car, you just have to get the correct type of wheel ( ie. not steels, or OE Subaru wheels ). Speedline make 6 and 7x15" gravel rally wheels to fit the standard 4 pot set up. Often used for extreme winter set up by North American customers.
Cheers

Thanks David, I guess my quest is still on. Now, if those Speedlines are £100.00 with tyres... oh well, still a few months till snow time.

In Yorks last year we had about two iches of snow and that lasted for about 20 minutes.. Can't believe it's any worse in Aylesbury! Besides snow is fun!
