Default Rotor Fitment Question

Does anybody know if the front DBA5000 rotors from an 05 WRX will fit onto a MY97 WRX when using the 05 calipers. I know the rotors are bigger than the original MY97 but using the 05 calipers there shouldnt be a problem should there ????

Would depend on the mounting points for the calipers.

Are the MY97 rims 17 inch as well?

That maybe the limiting factor, but I really have little idea.

Caliper mounting is the same. ABS tone ring does foul on some aftermarket rotors.
