I have group a ford motorsport 6pots on a 355 and they will go under a 17" rl7 and a 17" dymag so id have thought a mo5 would clear mine. Just!
However the calliper is slim so good for clearance vs some of the cheaper models that are chunkier. Would be very tight if they did thats for sure!
I have dummy fitted some 17" mo,s over 355/6 pot ap,s with no probs in the past and at the moment I run 370 with 6 pot water cooled ap,s under BBS 17"s

So they should go. 370mm and 6 pots under 17s. Fair play. Got a pic?
There the best way lol
I have some pics somewhere but don't have a clue about how to post them
And to be honest when you look through the wheel all you can see is the bells lol
I'd hardly call split rims cheating, normally they are worse for clearance in my experience.
Regarding the question posed... You don't give enough info as the width and offset makes a difference.
Split rims are better by a fair bit as far as ive seen. (centre lock 3 piece btw)
Am looking at some for the sapphire and they have more room than the rls i put over my brakes martin.

Like for like a Comp is way smaller as a split rim, that's my experience and the difference in clearance is around 6mm. Maybe other rims get bigger but I can't see it.

Do you like the ones I made for jon,s car on the front of fast ford ?
The Bbs e50 style barrels have so much room in them , when they have been spun they
Have kept the inside dia as big as pos for as long as pos with a minimal recess to help tyre fitment
