I believe the sw388s use +35 to clear.

there is a list of wheels that work with those calipers... run a search and you should find it.

Will these calipers fit over stock AP1 wheels with a spacer?

There are no "ups" and "downs" of using a spacer, other than the fact that you might need extended wheel studs (Which cost money) and your wheels will be pushed out for either aesthetic appeal or BBK clearance.

Luckily the MF10 has a convex spoke pattern so you shouldn't require more than a 10MM spacer, which shouldn't require extended studs.

Extended studs are recommended on anything past 10MM and are "required" on anything past 15MM.
