I know that with BBK's you have to have aftermarket wheels, but do they have to be bigger than 17" wheels. Is the fitment problem because of the actual spokes themselves and rubbing issues?

 

Ive seen stoptechs kit fit the stock wheels. So will the powerslot plus.

 

wow, did not know that. Does anybody know if WillWood will fit behind stock wheels?

Im most interested in Stoptech, i just dont like the look of Red calipers. They would be getting repainted, to a more mellow color, if i got them.

 

i belive both kits work you need to run 5mm spacers with the stock wheels........contact "the instigator" he works for stoptech and has them........with stock wheels

 

Yea i kinda thought they would be running a Spacer if they were on stock wheels.

 

i know the powerslot plus kit does not need a spacer.......

 

5mm spacer is the minimum to fit behind a stock wheel. I woudl recommend going 15mm in order to keep the wheels hubcentric and eliminate vibrations at highway speeds. As far as caliper color, red, black or silver paint are available at no extra charge with yellow, blue or gold paint costing extra.

so the 5mm spacers are not hubcentric and you will get vibrations?

 

Correct. I ran them with my stock wheels and they worked fine but the calipers were about as close to the wheel spokes as possible. I also had some vibrations at highway speeds that felt like a slightly out of balance wheel. Nothing dramatic, but it was noticeable nonetheless. If a 10mm hubcentric spacer was availble it would be perfect, but I know that the next size up from 5mm that H&R offers is 15mm.

 

for some reason i thought i saw a 8mm on h&r's site.......

 

If you search for tC apps, they only offer 5, 15, 20 and 25mm. They may make an 8mm for some apps, but just not in a 5x100 with a 54.1mm hub like the tC would need.

 

I would really like to see a 10mm as well.

 

that makes sense, i just happend to glance at thier applications....
i can get a 10mm spacer, there is a guy in fresno that makes them out of billet, we put them on a camaro, he also builds wheels. if your intrested i can ask.

 

I know custom ones are available and I even looked into them, but H&R includes new studs of the correct length so I recommend them for being an all in one package with known results.

 

ture. im not not sure if 5mm is a big deal....if your looking at a 15mm spacer.

 

Thanks for the Info. Ive been considering getting the RPF1's its nice to actually see someone who has them. I would love to get them in Gold, but they dont offer the +35 off-set in Gold

 

With the amount of clearance I have I think you might be OK with the +45 offset in an 8" wheel. Theres quite a few shops that would likely have that wheel in stock...they can check the wheels withour wheel fitment template if you ask nicely I'm sure.

Heres a link to the template that gets cut out and put inside the wheel:

Do you know if you would have to use a spacer with the Powerslot Front Plus Big Rotor Kit? Also, if i go this route, can you just upgrade the Calipers later"do they sell them by themselves"?
