Default APs on a 4x4 sapph

my father in law has a 4x4 sapph and is after a set of brakes as he only uses it on track days, he has found some 362 x 32 Vented AP Discs + AP 6 Pot Front Caliper Kit and 330 x 28 Vented AP Discs + AP 4 Pot Rear Caliper Kit
Reyland Machined Aluminium Mounting Brackets & Bells with bolts
Ferodo Brake Pads
will they fit and does he have to use 18s?
also how can he connect the hanbrake?

4x4 saphs are a pain in the harris when it comes to fitting big brakes, as long as he has the right spec alloy with correct offset they will go in

8x18 ET35 Comp Mo 6 spokes will clear a MAX of 362 on Sapphire 4x4 .

Regarding handbrake, Martin @ Reyland does a conversion that uses the existing standard callipers as just the handbrake . Consists of brackets and cut down pads (which have to have material ground off to suit the additional width of the brake discs).
