Question

Thought I'd better post it in the correct section as well....

Simple question really, I don't want maybe's and should do's, all I want is wheels that definitely can/can't accept the AP four pots on the Scooby? EG.
Standard 16" wheels - Yes (306mm discs)
Prodrive 17" Speedlines - No?
etc.
Many thanks, your help as usual is mucho appreciated.
Best regards

Mike,

the Prodrive PD7 alloys will also clear the AP 4 pots (just).

I think all of the OZ alloys in 17 inch size will also clear them. These incluse the Superturismo design, as well as the Prodrive P1 wheels.

The MIM alloys by Scoobysport, and also the alloys offered by Scoobymania (can't remember their names off the top of my head) will also clear them without problem.

In general, any wheel which will clear the Subaru 4 pot calipers should clear the AP 4 pot caliper without any problems.

Mike, phone APR on 01203-639595 and ask for their Road Car dept, or mail sales@apracing.co.uk

Ask for a profile drawing of the brakes you want. Cut around the dotted line and with the wheel upside down on the floor, hold the paper profile vertically, centred on the mounting hole. If nothing touches the paper, you're okay. It sounds crude but is accurate to within about 1mm.

I've got Radius R3 (17" * 7" ET50) wheels with AP 4-pots and 330mm disks on my MY98.
They fit OK.
