Default Brake/wheel advice

I have a set a of 17'' forged lightweight bbs alloys on my 2005 sti, looking to replace the brembo's with some AP's this year. The question is will AP's fit under these wheels? I will only be looking to upgrade the fronts and leave the standard brembo's on the rear with uprated discs and pads as this looks like the best option for me. If they won't fit then ill be in the market for some bigger wheels!

Can anyone confirm if 330mm 6pots will fit? These look like the best option to me...

The 330's will but the larger AP callipers and disks won't. As for the offset if your current wheels fit over the brembo's then they will also fit over the AP's
