Every wheel I've seen that fit 4 pot also fit 6pot, i dont think there is any real difference in size, maybe slightly longer.. But they wrap around the disk slightly more, not making the caliper any fatter

I was under the same impression as any 4 to 6 piston upgrade we have done has always cleared.

Do the FPV twisty 18" wheels fit under 6 pot brembo's? I know the 19" do, also might be a question if there were 18" genuine twisty wheels.

Are you talking about the BFII Typhoon / FG F6 wheels? I'm pretty sure there aren't any genuine 18" 'twisty wheels', as the genuine ones are all 19's

The 4 and 6 piston front brembo are the same width. So if wheels fit with 4 they will fit with 6. But min 18 inch

Yep brembos fit under them. The NSW police have them on their XR6T's fitted with 4 pot brembos.

I am trying to find some 18s to clear my brakes. I have the Harrop Ulitmate brake kit, 381mm front, 355mm rears - any ideas?

You may struggle to find an 18" wheel that fits over a 381mm 6 piston kit but if you can take a caliper and rotor with you when you look at wheels you can check the clearances.

Would be worth trying Speedy Cobalts.
These are advertised as Brembo compliant in 18" on the website.

Is there any point on (or can you even) get bigger rotors than 355mm? (with the 6 pot brembos)

362mm 365mm 375mm 380mm can all be made to suit but the cost of the kit increases as certain items like brackets and alloy hats along with the actual rotors will need to change or be modified. Can help with braking but 355mm off the shelf is generaly good enough for the enthusiest.

Can confirm they do. I have a set wrapped in semi slicks for track action.

Also the BA1 XR 17's clear the rear 4-pots. Won't clear any of the front Brembos. Good for drag tyres though

All B and F series FPV wheels in 18" and 19" will fit as well as the Territory FX6 wheels
Sorry forgot to add The 18" Tickford Azzuro and the 18" Tickford Pursuit wheels fit - the AU series 18" Tickford Rebel wheels I am unsure of I did not test these
Hope this sheds a bit of light on things
Could someone post a pic of the "The only FORD (non FPV) wheel that will clear them is the ENKEI BA XR option series in 18 X 8 " rim? I have BA 18s but I'm not sure if its the rim that will clear Brambos....

I haven't got a pic but they definitely do fit..
Have a look at "wild Inc." avatar pic.
Alot of guys use them wheels in combination with semi slick Tyres and brembo brakes for track days.

Same as above but if you click the link and have a look at the Enforcer these rims definately fit over Brembos. (2005 Ba Mk2 option rims)

Hey dont know if someone's already asked but would a bf 17" with a wheel spacer fit over brembo? I know people use for better "stance" or credit card clearance on jap spec cars but does this have any affects on handling, ride comfort cause I don't want to lose any of that.
