There's a thread on Nasioc, and another on ClubWRX that I've found looking for info on the same - trying to get cheap 16" wheels to put snow tires on the wagon.


This any help:

The "H6" brakes were the ventilated rear brakes from the '00-'04 era Outback H6-3.0 cars. They were a mild upgrade over the Impreza/WRX rear brakes as they were effectively the same size brakes, but they were ventilated rather than solid discs.

Starting in '05, the Legacy/Outback started coming with much bigger brakes all around. Bigger even than the sliding 2-pot WRX brakes of the same era.

Either way, I need some 17" OEM wheels to clear 'em.
