Boll**ks!
I bought a set of prodrive 17s and the brembo 4 pot set up for the front of my classic wagon. The fronts are fine, clearing the calipers and nort scrubbing. The rears however scrub even on the rolled arches due to the offset (ET40) required to clear the front calipers! Any ideas on how the rear wheels can be moved inward to counteract this?!

Sorry, but ET40 is miles out (well, 10-12mm at least). They don't fit, as you've discovered, and will upset the handling/steering by altering the track and front goemetry significantly.

Suggest you sell and get pukka classic-fit kit. If you got these though a Subaru dealer, shoot them.

Richard.
