99% certain they do... PCD's are the same. You may want to 'test fit' front & rear to check the offsets. I know the forester and impreza are both et48 , don't see why the leggy would be radically different.

I've a 94 turbo and have 17" sti wheels to put on. Unfortunately I found a broken spring when I came to do it and the wheels rubbed the strut. The offset on these is 53 and tyre size is 225/45/17 which is a bit wide but I am fairly sure a 215 would fit without too much hassel.
Do the test fit though.

Does anyone have a 2000 or later car ( the big headlamp model) with 17's on ??
If so does anyone know the correct size of tyre to use?
I am pretty sure there going to fit but dont want to splash the cash till i know for sure

A 215/40 17 would have roughly the same rolling diameter, but a 215/45 17 would fill the arches better, but they might rub.

Hi,

I have a my94 Leggy T estate fitted with 17" Wrex wheels and 214/45/17 Bridgestones and have no rubbing and fouling issues at all.

Have a look at this site and wade through the pics till you find waht your looking for!

Hope it helps and the site is also good for info on all things Leggy.
