If you already have the wheels then visit the AP acing website here and download the wheel clearance template. Cut it out and try it inside the wheel. If the template fits in the wheel then the wheel will fit over the brakes. One hint is to glue it to a bit of card before cutting it out, makes it easier to handle.

Small worry, the template is for the AP kit usng the same calipers and the same diameter discs. 99.5% likely that GGR's kit will use the same location for the disc and calipers but not 100%.

I've got 362mm discs and CP5555 calipers under 18" PFF7 wheels so it can be done.

Strictly the 362mm kit is for 19" wheels, the 355mm intended for 18s. depending on wheel you may get away with it, but watch out where the stick on balance weights go as they may foul.

We couldn't get the 262 kit under my 18" WRC-1s, so went for the 355 AP conversion. But, now we are changing to a 17" wheel anyway to give better drivability, whilst keeping the APs for the better stopping.
