I will keep you in mind when I get cash together. These look the bollocks mate.

we tried one of 'rsnissian's' 16" BBS wheels on Sassy's car & the caliper was to high for the wheel, even moving the caliper & disk in more would not have helped.

As Matt said we tried one of my rims on over sassys 330 AP's and i had a HOOOJ hangover but i they were definately not going on.
Matt was pretty sure they were the CP5200s but not 100%

315mm will fit over 15" competition wheels as per gravel spec on any rally car,330mm will only fit over a 16" competition wheel but only with the correct off set.
my 315mm ap set up would have done the job perfect,but ive sold them.

Tim's right about the 16s.
Got 330 APs under a 16 on my brother's saff, but they're OZs, and ET25, so give loads of clearance...........

A friend of mine has AP 315mm brakes over 16" BBS wheels, but I am not sure exactly what model of caliper it is.

Just picked up some 16" BBS wheels and they fit using a 3mm spacer over my 330mm front disc conversion which uses modified standard calipers

disks are 325mm
the bells are slightly thicker no spacers you do need longer wheel bolts tho
