I would be surprised if they didn't fit, not particularly big really

I can't see the pics from my phone, but doesn't the Rx7 4pot caliper fit under the standard 15" BBS wheel?

The standard rx7 ones do but I'm not sure on these as they are rx7 brembo calipers.

The chap I bought them off need spacers to fit under his 17" bk alpina reps
