Will 2011 WRX Rims Fit...

Will 2011 WRX rims fit on my 2006 WRX Wagon? I believe that both years have a 5-100 bolt pattern.

Do you think the 2011 Stock 235/45R17 Dunlops will rub on my 2006?

I am riding on ProDrive springs and KYB struts.

Thanks in advance!

bkblitzed - Did you end up getting a set of 2011 WRX wheels for your wagon? I am about to pull the trigger on a set and would like some words of advice from some who has "been there, done that."

I have read through many pages on the NASIOC thread on wagons with 235 or 245 tires. Out of the dozens of pages I read, I only saw a couple of postings on this topic. The person who responded to the question stated that they thought that the 2011 tires & wheels world fit but that the fenders would need he rolled.

Would the 4/2 pot brake clearance be an issue to think of?

I am running them on an 04 wagon on stock suspension with no rubbing at all. From what I have gathered, there will be no issues with my 4/2 pots when I put them on.

I can tell you for sure that they dont fit on a 99 legacy sedan with stock suspension. haha




I have been eyeing the new 2012 impreza sport 17" wheels as a second set... I dont know why but I kinda like them:

If those stockers clear it should be fine. From what I know, the new wrx brakes were modeled after the legacy brakes.
