Question 4pots under classic 16 inch wrx wheels?

anyone got 4 pot calipers from later classics fitted under early wrx 16 inch wheels . Best description I have is 5 spoke pattern divided into 2 . My std 2pot brakes are getting tired but I like the 16 inchers .
cheers

Take a wheel off, look inside and find the offset (ET) number. It needs to be 48-53mm or 4 pots will be too big.

pretty sure you can'y fit the 4pots under that wheel because of the spoke design...............best advice is to find a kind chap with 4pots and try your wheel on................

Agree with Stockcar, don't think these fit. Its not just the offset, it depends on the spoke design as well.
