I expect it's the wheels if your on 17'' Diamond cuts mate and not the brakes!

AP's are notorious for fitting perfectly and Diamond cuts are notorious for having crap clearance on brakes!

cant really say but i used a selection of very fine shims & spaced the caliper mount bkt out until it was perfectly central to the disc. have seen the caliper having to be radially spaced to prevent the disc rubbing on the inside of the caliper when driven hard & it heated up
