I'm looking for some ideas on 17" track wheels. There are a few standard wheels I've seen but I'd like something slightly different. I have 13" stop techs and my only requirements are they not be totally fugly, fairly light, and 9-9.5" wide.

Any thoughts?

okay what about fn01

 

FYI Apparrently Rpf1 17x9.5 won't fit over OEM brembos unless you can get your offset down to +18 or lower. Then you may have issues getting 275s on them due to fender clearance unless you dial in some camber.

Not sure the OEM Brembo size in inches off the top of my head. I'm running used SSR Comps 17x9.5+35 square and a 5mm spacer for extra front suspenion clearance, only about 2-3mm otherwise with stock suspenion/camber.

 

Looking cool on the track is a primary concern.

A one-piece mono block wheel is easy to keep clean. Not a lot of corners and crevices to accumulate brake dust and rubber. Keep it simple.

 

Not a stock suspension. Which SSR's are you running?

 

17" RPF1 clearing brembos

 

With a spacer.

 

nope. 17x9.5 +18 all around no spacers

I like it! Do you think they'll clear a larger Stop Tech caliper?

 

Sorry SSR Comps, fixed above too.

 

True, but with a camber kit and -3 degrees of camber to clear.

 

camber has no affect on caliper clearance

 

All sorts of bad information in this thread...

There are 2 different 13" Stoptech kits, the 332mm and 355mm.... and the 355 won't fit under a 17" wheel at all. The width, face type, and offset determine if you will have enough clearance for the wheel spokes.

332mm Stoptechs will fit a 17x9 +35.

 

My bust, that was for the fender clearance. Agree camber wouldn't change caliper clearance. I've read here at least two people who couldn't fit it over Brembo. I was looking for the same setup but on stock suspension and disappointed when I read they wouldn't work. Will see if I can track them down for reference.
============
Update: Couldn't find the posts I read, but I did find some other posts that confirm that RPF1s will fit on OEM Brembo as long as you're running +18 or lower offets for 17x9.5 (witnessed in the Ataru link above) or +20 for 17x9 (http://sccaforums.com/forums/thread/205890.aspx). The caveat is that you start to run into fender clearnace issues with 275s for those offsets but Ataru is able to squeeze them in with -3 camber. Sorry for any confusion on this subject but this should clear it up.
============

Doesn't matter the OP is talking different brakes anyways. See #54 in the Ataru link above from ScottS300 for more info. He's run a number of 17" track setups w/ Stoptech and Brembo BBK so a good source of info as well.

 

5zigens? I have seen those with 13'' bbks, but each bbk differs.

 

The first thing is, do you have the 332mm or the 355mm 13" Stoptech kit?

Like I said in my first post, I don't think the 355 fits under a 17" wheel at all.

 

355=14", not 13
