Brake rim clearance

[Reason]

Who knows if the Subaru 4 pot fronts and 2 pot rears fit in the GT 16" mesh?

They won't. They barely clear the 11.4" wrx/late-BE GT brakes as it is.

It may work with spacers, like what some RS owners have done with their none 5-spoke rims - I don't know how much would work on our cars though.

The GT 16" wheel has the same clearance as the RS 16x6.5" wheels ET55mm

Those Enkei's you have should clear the 4 pots though... the RS 5-spokes (16x7) will clear them also.

The question was for a potential buyer for the GT rims.

Well, here's a pic of mine with the WRX front brakes installed; it's the face of the rim that will be hitting the 4 pots me thinks.

Yeah 16 x 6.5's are a no go. Been contemplating selling my gold 5 spokes though if the deal is good, want to step up to 17's either V7 or BBS STi's.

I'm pretty sure the RS 6 spokes will also fit, but speaking from experience, the GT wheels and WRX wheels will not clear. Supposedly, it takes a 3mm or 5mm spacer and longer lugs. Can't recall.
