I've already had the AP 6/4 setup (14"/13").

I know the front barely clear my OEM 18s and the rears are uber thick. That's why I'm worried about the RPF1 (thinking of getting them for track wheels)

You should have no problem fitting that kit behind those wheels. There aren't many 18" RF1s out there especially on a Z. Here are pics of a Endless BBK behind a set of 19s...

yea, but I'm hoping the front would clear. 19" won't be a problem, but the front 18" may not fit over the brakes. I know my OEM only has about 2mm of clearance at most (diameter wise)

Truthfully I can't tell you without a shodow of a doubt that they will fit because I have never tried it. I think it will fit but it will be very very close just how they fit on your stock wheels.

My Enkei RPF1 18x9.5 +15 and 18x10.5 +15 clear my 13" four wheel Stoptech kit easy. I have no idea comparing AP to Stoptech though.

Thanks.

Since the AP's front Rotors are 14.25" and the calipers are huge, it's having a tough time fitting under 18" wheels. I know it didn't fit under my friend's 5Zigen 18"

And to make it worse, the Rear's Calipers are ridiculously thick. My friend's wheels cleared his 4 pistons Stoptech with ease, while needed 5mm to clear the AP.

But thanks again guy, I'll do some more readings.

Hate to bump an OLD *** thread but did you ever confirm the RPF1 18x9.5 +15 fitting over your brakes? I'm looking to run the same size & offset over my StopTech ST-40 14" rotor.

if you get them in the +15 offset, you will have no problem. If the kit is made for 18 and up, then yeah no problem again.
