Default AP help

Hi Guys I'm after a set of AP 330 cp5200 brakes, for my saph cos 4x4 but I'm worried if I buy them they won't fit behind my wheels???
They are 17 inch Supperlegra's..... So
1. Anyone had them under those wheels??
2. Does anyone have a set on I could try my wheel over before I buy a set??
Any help would be grate & I don't mind traveling as long as its not the end of the world.....
Cheers Lee

Go to reyland, I think they will measure up and tell you what will fit, give them a buzz. I think Martin said he could have just a wheel and tell you the max?

As above, I'm sure he'll know straight off if they'll fit.

These are 5200 calipers with 330's running 18inch Comps and there is a ton of room

So looking at these I'd say yes

You will possibly need 5mm spacers, I had 7" wide super tourismos and they needed spaced to clear my APs. It's not the diameter of the wheel that's the issue, it's the back of the spokes hitting the caliper face that you need to watch for.

Can't remember what model mine are, but it's not the back of the spokes, it's the clearance on the inside of the rim, a stick on balance weight won't even clear the caliper...
