Hey guys, let me revise the question a little. I understand wanting a square setup is really limiting my options so let' try this:

Minimum 225 upfront and 255 in the rear. Still want to be able to run the big brake kit (preferably Wilwood).

That should open my options a little more.

After doing some research these last few days I found that the ap2 v3 wheels will be a good contender. I heard that with a 5mm spacer you can clear the Wilwood brakes.

Easy do the enkei RFP1's junky mentioned and call it a day, The 17x8 RPF1's have tons of clearance and wilwood needs the least amount of room.

how wide of tires can you go with those? Would 245/255 be pushing it?

225 is a better fit on the 8 inhc wide wheels IMO. I guess you could squeeze a 245 on there. It would just be pinched,

I'm running the 8-225/9-255 stagger. I agree that 225 would be the way to go on the 8in wheel. Overall I really like the setup, but as previously stated, I'm not a huge fan of the convex on the 8in RPF1s (especially in SBC).

Which Wilwood bbk would clear these wheels? I haven't found a single kit that fits without some spacers.
Is it this one? Wilwood High Performance Disc Brakes - Front Brake Kit Product Number: 140-10309

I ran 17x10 +50 advan RS2's with my ap racing BBK on 255 ad08r squared and it cleared without a problem. That was with a pull on all 4 corners.

I actually am about to put the rims and tires up for sale. PM me if you're interested.

I was referring to the 8.5 +40 RPF1 option, not the 8 +45 Manga_spawn mentioned, likely just misunderstood.

The 8.5 +40 will accommodate any BBK on the market with typical 17"/325"-328"mm kit. You can run a 225 235 or 245 tire on this wheel up front. The 245 will require a little pull. Run the 9 +45 in the rear.

Gotcha, I did print out the template from the kit a linked to and it looks like it might actually clear the 17x8 +45 RPF1.
