Details
Yes on 2002-05 cars, no on 2006-07. The base BRZ/FR-S/86 wheel (17x7 +48) shares the WRX's 5x100 / 56.1 mm hub, and 2002-05 US WRXs have sliding front calipers. The 2006-07 WRX has Subaru's four-piston fixed front calipers, which two spec lists say this wheel does not clear. Its 215/45R17 tire is also the 2006-07 WRX's factory size.
