Default Help please big brakes, 4x4 and wheels????

Hi all, can someone please help? i have a 4x4 saff cossie and have brought some ap 4 pot brakes with 330 rotors caliper number is 6600.

Now the problem, i came to fit them on friday and they went on a treat, no washers or anything, a perfect fit. then came to fitting the wheels and as i have 18"x71/2" wheels i thought they would probably be o.k. but no they dont fit
but anyway i wanted new wheels anyway and i like compomotive mo's 18"x 8" does anyone know what offset i would need also has anyone else had this problem and been able to modify anythin to make them fit?

cheers

is it that the wheels wont fit because of the caliper is too far out from the hub i.e towards the wheel inner face or that the outer diameter is catching the inside of the rim ?


the CP660's are quite a large caliper for a four pot tho i must admit

The caliper is catching the wheel spokes mate the diameter is fine, with the wheel sitting on the front of the caliper there is about a 10mm gap between the wheel and the bell
