Default 15" Akebono Rotor/Brake kit + RPF1?

Does the Z1 14" Akebono brake+ rotor upgrade kit clear RPF1's without modification?


RPF1 18x9.5+15mm Offset front

RPF1 18x10.5+15mm Offset rear

Yes.

If unsure, download the templates to check the clearance. Not sure which or both Z1 or CZP has them on their site. I did measure them to my 18" RPF1s (and they cleared the templates) plus against all my other wheels at the time. Never got the Z34 brakes though.

Oh, just to be sure, your title says 15" Akebono but post says 14". 14" (or 355mm) is correct.

Them things are too heavy, kinda defeats the purpose of getting those light wheels lol.

It will clear yes, but small gravel will get caught in between. I had to dremel a good amount off the calipers for clearance.
