I have the 17x8 RPF1s +45 and am considering the SBG AP Racing kit. Is anyone running this combo and willing to share fitment experience?

Generally RPF1s are completely worthless for brake clearance. To my knowledge there aren't any s2000 sizes that fit anything other than stock brakes.

bgoetz

you are thinking 17x9, I am asking about 17x8. 17x8 fit Stoptech kits with little to no spacing.

I guess really what I need to know is fitment compared to the Stoptech kit.

Kudos to trying to save yourself the hassle, but as we discussed, you should just take the SBG wheel fitment template to Staples and have them print it. Then cut it out and tape to some cardboard and check your wheel clearance. Cuts out all the guess work.

Alternatively I could measure my cardboarded template and try to accurately describes for you to recreate without going to Staples to print..

No idea if this is helpful but it didn't take me that long.. HTH:

Thanks man! The issue is that I am out of town and wanted some idea of if this kit was off the table or not.

Is it 77 center of rotor to outside of caliper?

snitm

No, the 77 was from that corner to the bottom of the template.. not an amazingly useful number. But I figured it'd give some frame of reference to have the 3 data points I listed in the upper right hand corner to allow you to get the caliper's dimensions/angles exact to the template.

My street wheels used to be the 8*17 rpf1s, in +45 and I needed a spacer for the sbg BBK the wilwood one. I used a 10 mm to make the clearance perfect

8" +40? There is no such RPF1 to my knowledge. You mean 8.5" +40 I think. If so, there is miles of clearance with this wheel. Im running stoptech str40 caliper and there is a good 12-13mm more space yet. I dont think there is a bigger caliper on the market for this car then a stoptech, unless maybe your moving to a 6 piston.
