Any brake kits out there for RPM2's?
I am thinking about buying a set of Enkei RPM2's 18x7.5 50mm offset. I have heard that they don't clear most BBK's. Anybody running these wheels with upgraded brakes? I heard that Wilwood and iON brake kits work with the stock 16's. Would the Enkeis clear these? Or should I just get larger rotors, better pads, ss lines and keep the stock calipers? Need advice.

Have at look at TWR Racing BBK's they will fit on all rims that fit over the stock calipers. www.twrracing.com

You are basically stock with the not really BBK kits like the TWR and stuff that still fit over the stock wheels. Before I mounted my RPM2s I looked and accepted the fact that I could not get a large BBK and would have to stick with something on a stock rotor size. I have race pads and ss lines and at this point this is good enough for me at the track. The 4pots still fit and this would probably be my upgrade if I ever wanted to.
This is the only bad thing about the RPM2s I love how they look and the strength and weight but you can't have it all.

The TWR Racing brakes are 332mmx28mm. Isn't that a BBK? Isn't this going over 18" rims? What I mean is that the TWRR kits will fit any rim that 'can' go over the stock calipers. Because the outer depth of the TWRR caliper is similar to the stock caliper. Even the kits that fit over the stock WRX rims are 310mmx28mm. Isn't that a BBK?
