Does anyone know it the stock forester X rims (5 spoke steelies) will clear over the outback XT brakes?

Thanks!

AFAIK, the FXT and OBXT both have the same brakes. Only the LGT got bigger brakes.

FWIW i traded my stock 08 XT wheels with an 06 Outback LLbean no problems..

So that's probably a yes! The 16 inch steelies fit on a forester XT so I should be good there.

Yep, if they clear the FXT brakes, they should clear the OBXT brakes.

I bought a set of OBXT brakes a couple years ago thinking they were bigger than the FXT brakes, but they were the same thing. I was comparing '04 FXT to '05 OBXT, but I don't think the brakes have changed.
