The BE (third generation) Legacy weighs something like an 400 Lbs more that the BD (second generation) Legacy. The front brake setup was rather quickly found to be inadequate for serious mountainous driving duties. My understanding is that after the first year of the BE (2000) Subaru upgraded all the BEs to the larger 16" wheel setup so as to accomodate the larger, more powerfull brake setups.
