Up to 05, they will physically fit, but unless they are 17's, wont clear the 4-pot brakes, (SOME 16's do, but not all), and unless you are lucky, they won't clear Brembo brakes.

If buying larger wheels eg, off a classic, ask what brakes he was running. That could be your downfall.

What are they being fitted too?

All of them will fit from a WRX regardless of year and all STi wheels will fit if they are pre-widetrack MY05.

But if they are being fitted to an STi or car with front brembos very few of the wrx ones will fit without spacers.

Basically, what have you got?

We can then explain what you need to look for.
