I'm planning on fitting spacers this winter to make the AP2 wheels and stance look a bit more aggressive. I'm thinking either 10 or 12mm, so will be fitting longer studs.

What size of spacers are required for kits like AP Racing, Spoon, Wilwood, stoptech etc to clear the wheel? Perhaps I should rephrase that, what kits will fit AP2 wheels with 10 or 12mm spacers??

Wilwood seem to be the cheapest.

Thanks in advance.

stoptech requires a 17mm spacer

15mm spacers for ap racing.

Which ap racing kit - Essex? Stillen? Or more importantly what's the model number if the ap racing caliper?

i've measured Essex kit's template once and it was 20-22 mm.

willwod's 6 pot kit with narrow dynalite caliper requires 5 mm spacer - this is verified with APv2 and AP2v3 wheels.

so which translates roughly a 17x7 +38 rim would fit a bbk?

Cool. So stock Ap2 wheels and a 15-22mm spacer clear the AP bbk? Would 16" Ap1 wheels clear too with a spacer?

Also, what the weight difference of the entire AP BBK assembly (caliper, rotor, bracket) per corner versus stock?

No. Fitment isn't based on offset or width. The spoke design is the biggest factor. Test fitting the the actual rim is the only way to know. Or, finding others that can confirm the combination of bbk and rim.

The inside diameter of 16" wheels is too small to fit any BBK with a ~330 rotor.

Thanks. I might most likely get the Ap2 wheels anyways, for more tire and a more modern appearance.

Don't the Essex AP bbk use 299mm rotors? Would those fit inside the Ap1 16" wheels?
