Default Will AP's fit under 16's ?

As above.

Looking at upgrading the brakes on my S1, and with AP being the daddies I thought about possibly going down that route, but will they fit ? What offset etc ? Any idea of prices ?

Any help appreciated !

Yes because you would buy some AP's made to fit that size wheel

I had a brake kit off Reyland on my old nova, Ap calipers and 305mm disc and bells which with some adjustment can fit under 15's.

I'm on 315's AP's on the Mk2, a lot of it is down to offest and what wheels your using

BG Developments in Bromsgrove did me a 315mm AP 4pot kit for my S2 RS Turbo, which was designed for 16" wheels.

CP5200 calipers, and 315x28mm discs, bells n brackets.

Best single mod i ever did to the car.

You can even get 330s under some wheels (Comp Mo) with the correct offset etc, providing the car is not a Sapphire 4x4 (I know yours isn't, but for other people's reference) .
