Hahahah, good stuff Phil!

But yeah I doubt they would clear anything except FPV factory rims or BA XR8 18's. If they DO clear other factory Ford rims lots of people are gonna want to know!

The rim clearance issue has been covered many times before. No Ford FG rim (except FPV) will clear Brembo calipers.

As Ralph has said, you will not lose money on these. In fact I think you could clean them and probably flip them for a few 100 more without any issues.

So regardless if it is 4pot or 6pot, it won't clear.

I was under the impression that the 4pot ones would.

Ohh well I have given up on the thought of buying these, since I will be loosing resell value by selling it to Bogan speed.

:ermm:

Fark me. I would have thought that they would be smaller in size.

Well I cant see how AP racing have a 4 pot calliper that will fit under my rims then.

Maybe the Brembos only foul by a few mm on some rims and the APs are designed just that tiny bit thinner. No idea on brake engineering but I'm sure there's more than one way to skin a cat.
