No they are not as big as the Brembos, my 19" are et 45 and they clear the Brembos, alot depends on the Spoke design.

Yeah - it's more width with the AP's than the Brembo's. They're not as deep (so you can clear them easier), but many wheels spoke design comes in a lot more near the edge instead of staying out and then jutting in at the last second to meet the rim and then you'll have more problems with the AP's as they go nearer the rim than the Brembo's).

Volk wheels: light & very nice (expensive though)

Think we are going to get the wheels in first and then see if the AP template fits and then order them. Else it will just be diffrent Discs
