308mm will never fit behind a 15" alloy, 288mm are the max then you have to go to 16" for 308mm brakes

even 288mm is mega close! i had to use 2.5gram weights when balancing my wheels so they would fit between the caliper and the wheel

very little difference between 288's and 308's id imagine.. think you'd have to set the machine to just balance the outside of the wheel for 308's

i don't know what 288's are like but the 308's are brilliant, can just keep battering and battering them and they just keep stopping, feels like there trying to rip your teeth out of your face when you brake hard

my 288's were like that too, thought it was trapped air at first but even after bleeding them it was never any better and they were brand new
