Big Brake Kits That Fit Under RPF1's

[itisagoodname]

So i have about 7 months until the timing belt is due and i go stage 3. The last things i have left before then are a front BBK and suspension. I know what suspension setup i want but have no idea what front BBK to use with the Enkei RPF1's. They are 18" with 35 offset. I know there's a lot of people that have, or have used these wheels. I figure it would be easier to get opinions here while eating lunch.

What width RPF1's??
The only brakes that clear my 9" are the b6 s4 calipers.

my 18x8 rpf1 et35 clear 18z 6 piston calipers

18x9 rpf1 do not clear 18z calipers without a 15mm spacer I think

Im looking into using 18x10 or 18x10.5 rpf1 on my widebody, just waiting on Enkei to check the caliper template I sent them

[itisagoodname]

Just checked, they are the 18x8"

Good to know about the 18z! Any modifications? What rotors are you running?

Thanks

I have the Wilwood 350mm kit and they clear my RPF1s with no issues (running spacers now, but they cleared without)

350mm no mods.

same. My 18x8 et35 RPF1's fit over my 18Zs without without spacers. Very close but enough clearence

18x9 don't fit? Can you confirm this? Looking for a bbk but want to keep my rpf1s

I can confirm that they don't clear TTRS fronts.

They don't fit so I sold them. You need a 15-20mm or more spacer.

Wow.. That much! Damn, definitely not bbk friendly then.. Thanks for the answer.

There is not much that clears the ttrs fronts! Lol

The rpf1's up to widths 8.5 have convex spokes which allow for extra clearance. Once you step up to 9+ widths, the spokes become flat which reduces this clearance. It sucks cause the flat spokes look MUCH better IMO.

I know right, I don't want to get rid of them!

Those of you with the RPF1s - what rotor/kit are you using? I'm trying to confirm without seeing that the 18z kit from ECS will work with the 18x8 ET35 that you guys confirmed above (redundancy can be good!). Maybe it's that the 355mm is just a little too big?

I contacted Enkei, giving them the ECS Stage 4 18Z template and this thread. This was their reply:
"It's true that 18x8 RPF1s have better lateral caliper clearance than the 18x9. The issue with the kit referenced above is that it uses such a large disc that it places the edge of the caliper in a position where it interferes with both the barrel of the wheel and the spokes as they curve back in to meet the barrel.

If there is a version of this kit, which uses a slightly smaller disc, it may work with the 18x8 RPF1."

There is a lot from JHM that uses the 17z calipers and 330mm rotors.

19x10 with 19Z. Had to throw a 3mm spacer in.
