Jamal's Sticky states 'some 15" wheels will fit over WRX brakes....Anyone know if these will off a '99 Legacy?




Thanks

Those will not fit over the fronts...

The rears, yes...because they are the same size as T Leggy

The only 15" factory rims that clear WRX brakes in the front are from the 2.5RS.
You can look for 15" rally rims, like old Prodrives... they'll fit as well, but likely pretty expensive

Thanks for the info...I'll likely just upgrade to Turbo brakes.

What years? I thought all 2.5 RSs (GC, GM and GD) had 16 inchers.

ya there 16 not 15's

Well, no wonder they fit...

Folks have put the six spoke phone dial style Leggy rims (91-92(?3) SS, 96+OB) over WRX brakes, but the calipers had to be ground down some to fit inside the rim.

Just about any 15" rally rim (Enkei, Team Dynamics-?, OZ, ...) will fit as these are usually designed to clear 4-pots - only problem is they are expensive (Enkeis are $265/rim).

well if you really want the rims then just check out how much bigger the calipers are than the inside diameter of the wheel and if not to much you can grind the calipers down i had the same situation with a set of 14"s unless you just dont want to mess up the paint on the caliper!!

I have also fit the 6 SPOKE early turbo legacy over wrx brakes that have been ground down. The later t-leg won't work because of ridges in the inner wheel.
