Completely depends on the style and offset of the alloy.

*Some* 17" wheels will take brembos, 4 pot APs, or 330mm ksport kits. And some won't

What wheels do you have? Generally, a 330mm kit with APs/ksports are more likely to fit than brembos (which are quite wide calipers). 356mm kits pretty much always need 18" wheels afaik.

you can certainly fit the 330x32 8pot Ksport kit under most 17" wheels working on std off-set...........

if its new your after we can now offer Ksport as well as the AP Racing, Performance Friction, etc. that we have always done
