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.
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 🙏🏼
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?
Very useful comparison video! 17s were sooo close. Maybe with a larger spacer lol 😅
Maybe… but to close for comfort 😅

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.

I still use a 7 mm spacer up front so it doesn’t rub at full lock
Look forward to your feedback on the BBK on track compared to before
Hopefully if the weather is good we have some track time in 2 weeks
I wonder if 18in TSW Kemoras clear.
I’m not sure, apex is coming out with a new wheel soon!
Did you hear the ‘24 is the last MY of the twins?
No I did not
MY?

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
