Default APs and RPF1s

I have AP 6 piston calipers with 14.25" rotors. Does anyone have any idea if 18x9.5 Enkei RPF1s (38 offset) will fit over the calipers?

My feeling in 'no' since Rpf1s have issues with other BBK kits.

Print it out, double check the scale, glue it to cardboard, cut, and check barrel clearance. I asked the same question a while ago and nobody could answer.

I really need to get a measurement from one of those wheels, i want to know if my 14 inch Wilwood brakes will fit inside them.

I already did that. But, without a wheel to compare it to the profile isn't of much use.

Yup, both of us already have the brakes on our cars, to bad there's not a wheel template we could download.

Better yet, why don't you call Tirerack or someone and ask them to do the measurement for you.

I remember that I was looking into those when I had my AP and was told that it would not clear. AP front has problems with many 18" wheels due to its tight diameter clearance.

The only light weight Enkei that would clear at that time was the NTO3

Specifically ask for Luke at Tire Rack, he should be able to help, assuming you have a wheel figment template or dimensions for the kit you can give him.

Tirerack already told me the APs won't clear on the front. But, they also told me that 275/35-18s on a 9.5" wheel won't fit, either, and that isn't true. I'm hoping that someone has the AP/RPF1 setup to tell me for sure or that someone local here in Phoenix has RPF1s and will let me fit one to my car or at least let me use my caliper template on it.
