with the ap's fitted there is no way you will able to put 17's on. but you can get 17's on if you put the standard brake's back on, cause in euro land that what they have to run to put snow chains on an frs.

Hi Paul

Thought i'd ask as a friend has the same 6 pot but with 335 disks on a scoob(sorry about swearing ) the caliper fits fine with 17's on.

Cheers Terry

17's will go on an FRS with std brakes, in europe a popular winter option is 17's with snow tyres.

17" Comps should fit over a 355 disc mate. Phone martin Hadland (Reyland) or Compomotive direct and they should be able to tell you
