Hello. Im looking to use the RL caliper setup but with 16" wheels. I know a while back there was a "post your BBK setup" thread and i seen a few running 16" wheels and others that didnt list sizes. Let me know what youre running with these calipers and if you had to use spacers or not. Thank you

You're planning on running 2018 RL calipers on your 1965 Ferrari with 16" wheels with a custom made bracket that mounts the caliper inboard of the wheel well?

Ha. Ill assume the sarcasm was due to not listing the make/model of caliper and car that will recieve them.

07 RL caliper onto 93 Del Sol.

Already had a kind member make a wheel suggestion for me without the sarcasm. Thanks

Lol what rotors, bud?

I have 06 RL calipers (same thing) on my TSX. There is no way 16's will fit for me.

Fastbrakes makes the kit. 11.8" rotors with non Civic Ex/Dc knuckles

Here is the original thread with some 16" wheels that fit
https://honda-tech.com/honda-acura-28/post-up-pictures-your-big-brake-kit-2681955/

Reason i asked is because i knew 16" motegi traklites 1.0 would fit but theyre discontinued. I once had an 11.8" 4x100 redrilled rsx-s rotor /s2k caliper setup that fit under the 15" version. Rota c10s will fit i was told with 10mm spacer. Just looking for more wheel choices than the ones in the thread above.

Ill eventually figure it out

I've got mine on a DC2 with TE37 +33, Regamaster Evo +35, and Azect t.01 +48(ish) and only the Azect need a spacer.

To fit under 16" wheels it comes down to rotor size and the barrel and spoke design of the wheel more than offset. Some wheels, like the TE37 are designed for bigger brakes.

Rally type wheels are meant to fit larger than normal brakes as well. I had 15x6.5 +35 RCG-4's on my ITR that *looked* like they'd house S2000 brakes.

I'm looking into the same brake set up. Now I'm just trying to find the right 16 inch wheel

AFAccord

I'm not sure that's even possible. I know it's a different car, but this is my 01 Accord with FFC bracket, RL calipers and 12.8" rotor on a 17" wheel.





There's less than 1/4" gap between the caliper and wheel, and I also had to run a 3mm spacer so the spokes clear the face of the caliper.

phunhaus

It is possible but it's not a bolt-on affair even with adapter brackets. I had to modify mine and find the right rotor to work.



As I stated above, the spoke and barrel design of the wheel is most important. I got two sets to work without spacers, one set to work with spacers and found a fourth set of wheels I had would never work even with spacers.

Yeah I'm looking into the fastbrakes kit with 11.8" rotors. Did you shave the calipers yourself?

Thanks for the pics. Did you use the fastbrakes kit or brakeexpert? What size rotors did you end up using? What other mods did you have to do to make it work?

AFAccord

I did. They were in pretty bad shape when I bought them, so I cleaned and rebuilt them, shaving the name off in the process.

Nice build!
I google'd BMW z3 3.0 rotors but cant find the dimensions. Any idea what the diameter is?

phunhaus

I don't recall BUT I did find them by going through Brembo's online catalog. You'll have to excuse me because this was years ago.

rolow

So I finely got my calipers this info pertains to the fastbrakes.com 11.8 Acura RL big brake kit

Volk CE28N 16x7 +33 4x100 fit
don't mind the dust lol





Pacer 16x6.5 +41 4x100 don't fit
sorry no pics on the knuckle but there wasn't much to see

rolow

ok i tried a few more wheels

15x8 +35 Rays Gram Light 57dr did not fit
16x7 +32 Volk RE30CSII fit with a 3mm spacer but I would run a 5 minimum
16x8 +20 JnC 014 also needed a good size spacer.

chrisnick

This thread makes me want to pick another set of RL calipers and see if they'll fit behind my 16" TSW Trackstar 4's.

rolow

here is a pic's of the JNC for reference

I'm done trying wheels. I'm going with these a little rally for most but I like them and there not to pricey $125.
