I've searched a few forums and Facebook groups and am struggling to find a definitive answer.

I really want a set of RPF1's for my GR86. Ideally I'd like to go for 17x8 +35.
However, I'm unsure they'll fit over a BBK.
I'm yet to order a BBK or wheels, but thought I'd ask here if anyone is running the same set up so I can be pointed in the right direction.

BBK would either be the Reyland kit or EBC's Apollo kit.
I've got the template of the Apollo and sent it to a couple of Enkei suppliers but Enkei aren't being helpful with a reply sadly.

Most people think 17" RPF1 plus a BBK won't work, but....I stumble across something like this, which makes me think there's a chance:

I've read @Will300 's brake guide too which shows a few examples of 17" wheels with a BBK behind them.

Help much appreciated!
I don't want to end up ordering wheels and not being able to send them back if they don't fit.

Thanks in advance, Charlie
 
Just in-case anyone else encounters this problem, I thought I might as well update the thread.

It turns out you can fit a 4 pot BBK under 17" Enkei RPF1's. Well at least two BBKs, the EBC Apollo and the Reylands Motorsport AP BBK.

A massive thank you to @Will300 for helping me out with this and answering all my pesky questions. He really went above and beyond with brake profile templates and physically trying a wheel onto his car with the AP kit to prove the fitment.
A big thank you also to Tarmac Sportz and Tegiwa for printing out templates and offering them up to wheels for me.

Great stuff thanks for sharing and for Wills support.
 
@ECG1000 , any idea if the Reyland (Track 330 I assume) kit fits the 17x9 ET35? Essex AP Racing Sprint kit apparently does not... :(

I’m not sure on this one. I think I’ve heard the 9” RPF1’s have slightly concave spokes which might cause clearance issues.
The 8” RPF1’s have ever so slightly convex spokes which give a bit more room!
