Go to AP racings page, here.
Then go car products, formula brake kit, brake kit selection, subaru, impreza and there is a list of brake kits. At the bottom of each kit selection box is a .pdf file to download that gives you a wheel clearance template. Print it out (make sure resize to fit paper options are unselected) and cut it out. Then put it inside your wheel, located by the mounting hub, if it doesn't touch the inside of the wheel then the wheel will fit over the brakes. Can't get simpler than that.

I've got the AP's on mine with 6-pots & 352mm, (I've had the 362mm ones with my Evo in the past). The speedline Turini's are 8x18 and fit with plenty of clearance for discs and callipers alike. The Prodrive wheel (the one on the WR1) will also clear them as well, as will the GT1 wheel from Speedline (they're the only ones I know of apart from Volk Racing wheels), hope it helps

The problem with the PDF file is that you need one wheel to test clearance... it's not easy having each kind of wheels...
Blueboy thank for your help. On witch Scooby have you your big brakes on it ??? Mine is a STi7 (with Projectµ SCR Pro brake disc), I hope AP kit will be on issue later than Brembo genuine brakes

Hmm, you're right. Very useful if you have the wheels and are trying to find which brakes will fit them but not too helpful the other way round. I must remember to read the original posts before responding.....
