Should give you a fair idea if they will clear the brakes or not.

I get FG brackets in the deal, not sure if I need to purchase new brackets.

Dirty32 Legendary member!! Donating Members 1,739 Member For: 18y 4m 19d Gender: Male Location: Dianella, West Oz Posted 17/10/10 01:45 PM Share Posted 17/10/10 01:45 PM Used FG brackets, but we just had to switch (or reverse, cant remember which but im fairly sure we switched em) the brackets / dogbones from one side to the other... Eg, changed the left hand caliper bracket to the right hand caliper and visa versa.Can confirm - the BA XR8 wheels fit Brembo 6 pots and any of the FPV wheels, but dont think any of the other standard XR wheels fit.
