As the title suggests, i have converted the standard 2-pots on my 98 UK Wagon to some nice new 4-pots, black diamond discs and pagid blue pads. Im now really happy with them and currently have them running nicely under my 17" VW offset Alloys.

For various reasons I want to get my old wheels back on the car though, a set of OEM 16" WRX import wheels, but not only do they foul on the caliper, they are about 10mm short of clearing them.

I am sure i have seen the 4-pot brakes under these wheels before, what have i done wrong? Do i need the actual hubs from a 99, or extended studs and use spacers? I had assumed it was a simple swap, if its too much effort i think i'll just sell the 4-pots on and go back to the 2-pots

Any help or advise would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Guys

All the hubs are the same , so if you have seen the 4 pots under the wheel your trying to fit then they must have used spacers , the later spec 98 wheels clear the 4 pots , most of the early wheels dont
Hope this helps

That would be why then. Time for a re-think then me thinks.
Thank you very much for your help.
