Volk CE28N with AP Racing 6-Piston BBK clearance?
 
Hi guys, I've been reading from the forum regarding Wheels and BBK clearance, and I am getting a lot of mixed answers.

I am about to head out to get my 18x9.5/18x10.5 with offset +22/+18. I am also getting this AP Racing 6-Piston BBK from Stillen. I've tried but failed to getting any info on the clearance with Stillen. Does any have any information on this setup? Thanks in advance.

Ben.

You're really not going to know until you try. I have stoptech trophy BBK with 380mm front rotors, with 18x9.5 +15. I have about 1mm of clearance between the rim and caliper, and thats with a racing rim, Enkei PF01. Rears will clear no problem. But its going to be a hit or miss with the fronts. Just note if it DOES clear, it will only clear by a hair on your nut sack. lol

I honestly would do +28 or +34. The less concave face is going to give you more caliper clearance if you want to play it safe. I know the Weds TC105n's +35 clears BBK's no problem at but the +10 is too concave and will hit BBK's which is why I went +35. I am still deciding if I want to buy another pair of 18x9.5 +35 so I can do a square setup for track days.

?? Actually the more concave the more it clears....Thats the point of concave rims

Depends on rim style i guess. Like I said, I was told by multiple sellers that the +10 offset would not clear the oem bbk on front cause of the concave of the wheel. +35 offset is flat faced and clears with more then enough room for even an 8pot setup without a spacer.

an 8 pot set up will not clear an 18inch rim no matter what offset or style you go with
