Default AP help

Hi fellas

I'm thinking of buying some AP 4 pots 330mm & was wondering if these would fit behind 17 inch super turismo wheels???? Or is there away of working it out?? Any help would b grate.

Cheers Lee

What varient is the car 2wd or 4x4? what offset are the super t's? 4x4's are a bit of a pain in the arse to fit big brakes to up front, you'll need an 8jx17 rim with an et37 to get the brakes under the rim

Depends on the caliper you use. I had an AP supplied kit on mine (cp 5200 calipers) and it didn't fit behind super ts without spacing the wheels at least 5mm.

So if it is a a cp5200 kit will it just need 5mm spacers??
Sorry to sound a bit dim but don't really fancy paying out 4 them if I've got change wheels 2!!!!!
Is there any way of checking the wheel without fitting it all 1st??

I'm in the same boat as you mate , although I have different wheels
I have trial fitted mine and the callipers stick a fair bit out but with 5mm spacer it would fit just need longer studs
you could try yours on and use washers as a spacer to see if you could get away with it ?
