Default AP 6 pot brakes

I have some on the 355mm disks. I need to get 17's which is a struggle on the 355mm disks. Will AP sell me just the 330mm carriers (well along with some disks?) Spoke to a AP Rep and he said if AP have part numbers for them from the kit you can buy them seperatley. Anyone have any ideas on part number or if I can do this?

What 17" wheels clear the 6 pots on 355mm disks? Lightweight stuff? Im only intrested in outside wall of wheel clearing caliper as can play with offsets and spacers if needed.

Cheers

Competition 17,s should be fine and if you change the discs then you should have material you can machine off the radial mounts

When you say competition do you mean Compomotives? Or do you mean anything light?

Team Dynamics
Volks
Rays

etc...

Il stay with the 355mm if I can get 17's over without grinding caliper down

I should probally come clean and point out its on a Audi TT, but you guys seem so knowledgable. Il see what I can get in 5x100 that will clear. Anyone know if Pro Race 1.2's will clear? I know they arnt super light, but they are cheap and common. I have Volk's at min in 18's and only weigh 6.7kg each, but when you put a tyre on your better going down to 17's and teh fact 17" slicks I get hold of cheap!

Cheers. The Scooby boys (pfft what do they know) all say the 330 and the 355 caliper different and so are bells so I cant just change disks. Got a number for this Tony Ryan?
