Hello everyone, I was wondering if anyone knows if there is a 15in rim that you can mount on the WRX?

I know some of the rally teams use 15's, but I don't know what kind....Speedlines, I would think.

15" slipstream does not clear the brakes

I can say from personal experience Compomotive TH2's fit. I use these on my WRX all the time.

You cannot run 15's with the stock WRX brake setup because the top of the caliper is really close to the wheel such that it will not work. The brake setup that will work with 15inch wheels would be the setup from the front of any GC8. They run a 10.7 front disc and not an 11.4. The setup although uses the same caliper has a different bracket that offsets the caliper just enough to allow 15inch wheels to fit.

Unhappy Steels don't fit either

Just in case you were considereing 15" steels for winter use, they won't fit.

I tried bolting on some 15" winter wheels from my old 2.5 RS, but the larger front rotor and caliper won't allow a fit.
