Use those links to make a template then test them on your wheels. Should give you a fair idea if they will clear the brakes or not.

Advice on the brakes is spot on...

You can use the brackets from the FG calipers, but they need to be reversed / swapped from side to side for the calipers to bolt up.

The crossover pipe also needs to be moved from where it is originally to the other side of the caliper.

I am using FG brembo 6 pots on the front of my BF ute and all is well!

did you use the FG brackets or bolted up to original brackets. I get FG brackets in the deal, not sure if I need to purchase new brackets.

the 4 & 6 pot Brembos will fit with the FPV 18" wheels, but only a very few aftermarket ones.

that's good to know, I thought I would need 19's, much happier now that 18's are fine. no need to outlay as much for wheel packages

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.
