im pretty sure 356mm will fit under a 17, and MO's offer good clearance, but 380 is gonna be fucking close lol

pretty sure they may on tho,

I have 380's (well 378) under 8x18 MO. Need to get the right offset to give you enough clearance. Mine is ET15 as recommended by Mike R

380mm and the normal AP 6 pots that most have dont fit the new shape mo`s in 8 x 18 and the 9 x 18 are evern worse, not shure about 10 x 18 but i think you need to speak to martin as i think he is the man with the answers, i have set my brakes 7 mm in and they still didnt fit but they did just on the old stlye, you are best off getting a racing caliper that should be smaller that way it shouldnt hit the rim

im pretty sure he wont be going for AP's Dunc, but i expect most callipers are near enough the same dimentions so could be a problem then

I know when kev sharp had my wheels(9x18 mo's) ,he had to get bells and brackets made up to get his 380mm brembos behind them as they have less space due to the design than the 8x18. When i looked into 380mm hi-spec kit think i was around 3mm short on clearance, from what there fitting specs gave.

Steve im sure with the high spec kit i was ok for clearing the spokes it was diameter wise i was 3mm short, might of got away with machining the caliper but wasnt taking that chance and wasting the money. That was on the 9x18 dont know if the 10" will be the same as think the extra inch is in the lip on the 10's.If you go on there site think it gives you clearance specs that you can measure out.

Hi Duncan, if you mean the newer shape MO six spokes then AP 378mm 6 pots DO fit under them as this is what I have If you mean the new MO (TSW venom style ) then I havent got a clue

The original version of the new shape MO six spoke DIDNT fit, but then they made a revised version a while ago which will now allow the neccessary clearence. Mike R knows the answers lol.........

I am using watercooled AP 6 pots, similar to the ones Mike R has but slightly shorter pad. Didnt have to mess around with modifying discs etc, and no spacers. Just used an ET15 offset and they went on fine Ill get Danny B to take some pics as he fitted the brakes for me and still has the car at present

Just in case you haven't been told enough .

BRAKES:
Front:
AP Racing 378mm (15") CP3700-1010/11G8 grooved and ventilated discs (fully floating) with gold anodised aluminium bells. AP Racing CP6235 6-pot differential bores, liquid-cooled, WRC callipers, and stainless-steel braided hoses. Ferodo DS3000 (CP6235D46) pads.



However, in regard to your query, if you go on Hi-spec's new updated website, it gives you the full clearance dimensions required for each brake kit, so you can see if they will fit behind your 10x18s. Personally I don't think they will, due to how inset the spokes sit .
