It would make sense if they did fit the NA splash guards or else they would have to release a new guard just to go with this set. But hey, who said what car manufacturers do ever made sense!:wink2:
Thanks for your quick reply @Subaruonlineparts.com! I do have the splash guards. That isn't the issue. The problem is the 2016 non-XT models have a taller black section at the bottom of the wheel arch on the front bumper. Here are some photos to illustrate (2016 on left, 2017 on right):
There is about an inch+ difference in height. My post here has photos of the actual part up against the bumper. Your website is correct (only non-XT 2016 models) but other subaru sites are showing they fit on all 2016 models.
Excellent observation. I suppose they could be made to fit by trimming down the front flares for clearance??
