UCF10s have regular sliding calipers which are pretty small in profile so front clearance will be minimal, all depending on wheel offset and spoke/pad design.

The reason i asked is because i was thinking about getting a set if 338s and wanted to know if they would clear the 2gen ls bbk. I called the company but they didnt have that info. The wheels are 18x9.5 -4

Are they high disk, low disk? Either way with that -4 I'm thinking they will clear.

-4 might still not clear if the disc is not correct or too low. high disk is what you want!

quick google on 338s show a company called boss. those do NOT look like high disk to me however 10-15mm spacers will remedy this.
