With standard subaru 4 pots you can use 16" wheels but thats depending on design/style?

Rob I had the same speedlines wheels as shown in your picture

and they would not clear the 4 pots, ended up buying some MY99 standard 16" 5 spokes wheels.

thx alot for the info - i really likes the safaris as well :-(

would prodrive p-wrc1 17in wheels be ok with 4 pots?

i have a set of five of these 6 spokes i got with the car (pic below - would these fit) just out of curiosity as i didnt like them at all and they could do with a refurb. anyone know what wheels they are?

Rob, the P-WRC wheels WILL fit with 4 pots, and the wheels you have are standard Subaru STI6 wheels.... or in other words.. what the P1's came in to this country wearing.....

I upgraded the brakes on my WRX Wagon and fitted 4 pots at the front. They fit within the generic 16" alloy wheels I use during the winter. So whilst I can't say whether or not they would be compatible with the 16" wheels you want to use, I think it's wrong to believe that 99% of 16" wheels wouldn't fit.
