Nope. I've got AP 6-pots under 17in P1 wheels with at least 8mm clearance all round. Is yours an official AP Racing kit?

Good luck,

Richard.

1mm from where? Inside of spokes or inside of rim? Official AP Racing kit uses 330x28mm 48-vane discs, and the mounting bracket has a part no on it, I think. Check out www.apracing.com, mail them or give 'em a bell. Very helpful peeps and they know Scoobs well.

You need 3mm minimum, to be safe, or you'll touch the wheel on hard cornering. On my car, I can almost squeeze my finger between the caliper and spoke.

This can't be a pukka AP kit or if it is, it's off a different car. Problem is either the bracket or the bell. Talk to AP - you can buy the right bits separately.

Cheers,

Richard.
