AP Racing BBK Wheel Testing GR86

[@EduardoSalazar-d1e]

Wheel set up looks great!!! Was there any modifications you had to do to fit the 57 gramlights??? I’m looking at purchasing a set in the same spec for a good price. Thanks 🙏🏼

I still use a 7 mm spacer up front so it doesn’t rub at full lock

Very useful comparison video! 17s were sooo close. Maybe with a larger spacer lol 😅

[@phelpsgarage4202]

Maybe… but to close for comfort 😅

Got to give it up to APEX for designing a 17in barrel that fits almost like an 18in RPF1. As an owner of 17in APEX VS-5RS I am able to cross-shop some other larger BBKs that are designed for 18in wheels, but from the look of it, just not the Radi-CAL Pro 5000R. Thanks for the video!

18" has been the way to go for big brake applications and tire selection for quite awhile now. I know you can only go to 13" on a big brake kit with the 17" wheels, as I went through this with my 89 Mustang setup for the front using 17" X 9" 4 lug wheels and 4 square setup.

[@phelpsgarage4202]

Yeah, I would agree with you on that. The 17’s were so close. I had a 92 LX mustang with a bunch of work done to it.

Look forward to your feedback on the BBK on track compared to before

[@phelpsgarage4202]

Hopefully if the weather is good we have some track time in 2 weeks

Any idea if the spacer is impacting clearance? I'm considering getting the rpf1 but only plan to run 18 X 9 with a 235 so wouldn't need a spacer. Any idea if it would hit the caliper if it sat a bit further in?

[@phelpsgarage4202]

The spacer is helping it fit so no I don’t believe the 18x9 would fit without a spacer.. but to be honest I didn’t think the 18x9.5 would fit

[@PBrooksSawyer]

I wonder if 18in TSW Kemoras clear.

[@phelpsgarage4202]

I’m not sure, apex is coming out with a new wheel soon!

[@FRWD_FXLRST]

Did you hear the ‘24 is the last MY of the twins?

[@phelpsgarage4202]

No I did not

[@PBrooksSawyer]

MY?
