I am curious as to what "FHI" means. Also, what is the smallest wheel diameter that they will fit under. Thanx.

FHI = Fuji Heavy Industries = parent company of Subaru.

Fuji Heavy Industries...and you generally must have at least a 17" wheel unless you have either 2.5 RS 5 or 6 spoke 16" wheels

I specify FHI - Fuji Heavy Industry, as opposed to the Brembo 4-pots, which I have no idea if they bolt on or not. I'd expect no.

I have heard that some non- "16x7 98-01 2.5RS 16"" Subaru wheels will fit over these.

And actually more 15" wheels fit over the 4-pots than do WRX 2-pots. 2-pots stick out farther radially and 4-pots are wider but shorter.
