RPF1's are universally known as one of the worst wheels for brake fitment. I'm almost 100% sure they won't fit over even the 11" kit, because I have them (RPF1's that is) on my SE-R, and had an opportunity to pick up an 11" Wilwood kit but passed. That's not to say a small spacer wouldn't get you there, but not everyone likes running spacers.

They wouldn't even fit over the NB Sport Package brakes on my Miata without grinding the calipers down.

You have the RPF1 wheels & 11" BBK? I didn't think the RPF1s came in 7.5"

So the real issue is the caliper hitting spokes? Not the overall diameter of the 11" BBK fitting into the inside diameter of the wheel? I have no problems running a spacer to separate the wheels from the caliper.

Not sure if that's the case with the Wilwood kit, but it was on my Miata w/ NB Sport Pkg brakes. See here for more - willwood brakes.. what 15inch rim offset - SR20 Forum

Chris, thanks for the reference. I shot a PM to McCoy.

Any other inputs?
