will these fit over AP brakes?

I've got a TF 135 with 240mm brakes and 15 inch wheels, I'd like some slightly larger wheels, I'm looking at these http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....iewItem&item=230242477075&fromMakeTrack=true&ssPageName=VIP:Watchlink:middle:uk with the intention of spraying them anthracite and putting new tyres on them when I get a chance, but I may be looking to upgrade the front calipers to the AP ones which I understand only fit underneath some wheels, would they fit under these? If not, which ones am I looking at?

Thanks

none of those any gonna be anywhere near as cheap or easy to paint are they...

I found this site which shows the TF 160 and the Trophy wheels, but doesn't mention that the trophy ones will fit the AP brakes, am I looking at the wrong trophy ones?

can't find any pics of the Superlights?
From your link "The latest 11 spoke alloys, will fit all models, suitable for AP brake kit."

I saw that the TF 160 wheels fitted over the AP brakes from the site but was unsure about the trophy ones as it didn't mention them, tbh I like the look of the other ones in the first link so think I'm just gonna go for those and paint them anthracite. If I feel the need for bigger brakes at a later date then I'll worry about it then if they don't fit with spacers :err:

Yeah, one or the other :lol:

Unfortunately as Chris said the 6 spoke are thick spokes and would need whopping great spacers which would put strain on the hubs possibly resulting in you losing half your car upon hitting a large hole/bump

Just a quick thought, but I put MS hub adapters on mine, then you not only bring your wheels out by a fare few mm's but you can fit many more four stud 17" ones on it
