I like the syle of the MY01 wheels, very nice.

I have a few questions about them:

1: They 17inch? do they do an 18inch version?

2: what size tyres do they take? want to know if Toyo Proxes T1-S would fit on them

3: Would they fit a MY94 WRX Wagon?

4: same bolts as earlier cars, ie; would my locking nuts (paddy hopkirk) fit with these wheels

5: Obviously Subaru 4-pots will fit behind them, but what about brembo/AP four pots, or scoobysports nice Brembo/AP 6 pot kit, will that fit behind them?

6: How much would a set be?

16inch

205/50x16

Quoted £285 inc VAT each by Subaru for a replacement. Eventually Kwik Fit replaced it FOC after damaging the original.

Guess they are the same fit for all hubs.

As for the calipers - not sure

I too was looking along these lines & had bought a set (in theory) but they never arrived at the shop I was buying them from - "lost" in transit

However, since then I was in conversation with Pete Croney & the information is as follows...

If you were to get a set s/hand from someone, then you would have to junk the tyres as they would be oversize @ 205/45 17. You would have to buy 205/40 17s to have the same r/radius as before. They will fit your wagon & with all those callipers underneath. The only real problem is that they have a slightly different offset & this would have the effect of softening/loosening steering feel & turn-in - I don't know how serious this would be to you & it might be possible to counter to a large degree with the bumpsteer mod, as that enhances steering feel & turn-in.

The set I had been about to buy were £450 with delivery mileage.

Hope that helps.

Oops, I replied having read "MY00" which are
16inch.

I am running MY01 wheels and the standard tyres on my MY94 WRX. I get the occassional scraping from the front left tyre on the plastic inner wheel arch, but thats it and my car is running a seriously low ride height (won't go no lower, I've tried!), but the suspension hardly moves (about 1/4 inch on the front) so this helps. The change in rolling circumference is relatively small and doesn't really warrant a new set of tyres IMHO, although I will get the lower porfile when these wear out.
