Yes they will , they are exactly the same calipers except the subaru lettering is a sticker rather than cast onto the calipers like the early ones
Cheers Ian

Its not the diameter but the spoke shape that means you can fit certain wheels on , I have 15" wheels over my 4 pots on my rally car for gravel , and 16" wheels for tarmac , they are Raceline and Speedline motorsport wheels , the early import wheels dont usually fit over them as the spokes hit ,
