You need to start by telling us EXACTLY what brakes you now have. "4-pots" encompasses a multitude of brakes.
On my 98 car, for example, I have 4-pot Brembos, but they are the slightly smaller calipers as sold at one time by Godspeed, and they DO fit under WRX01 onwards wheels. The Newage Brembos don't
When looking for wheels, an ET of 48-53 is usually right for Scoobs.
Have a word with M4GGY on here, he knows what will and won't fit. Ian Godney knows a lot too, as does Alyn at ASPerformance.

What 17" wheels do you have that don't clear them? Got a picture, ideally of the wheels and brakes?
From what you say, I would assume they are OEM 4 pots.

I know what you mean. There are also 15's that will clear. The only time I have ever had issues with wheels not fitting over brakes is with Scooby's. I suppose its better than the slidng calipers they seem to put on most "hot hatches" and the like.
