    Apex Arc 8 17x8 et 25 with Mazda brakes.

    Will the Mazda rx7 brakes clear the wheel? Will I need any spacer? If so what size?


    Thanks.

      Sorry dude. They will totally not fit without using a 10mm spacer.



















































      I kidd. idk search brodo. Theres a forum member that made a site listing what wheels will clear with or without spacers...

        I'm going to say YES
        because ARC8's clear a Wilwood FSL caliper which is miles dimensionally larger in all directions

          than a rx7 w/adapter plate and offsetted VW rotors?

            I'd guess they'll fit. If they needed a spacer I think it would be a small one.

              If you want 100% piece of mind you are going to have to do some hard work.

              This picture shows the dimensions of a 300x32 rotor and a Wilwood SLR6 wide body caliper on an E30 front spindle. These are dimensions I have taken myself and know to be correct because I have had custom wheels made from these measurements.

              This is a brake combo that fits under an ARC-8 (just)

              You take the same measurement points as shown in this picture
              if you measurements are smaller than shown in this picture then yes, your caliper setup will fit too.

              Easy right?
