Got AP brakes coming in need help!

I got 6pot calipers coming in from AP Racing. for my 04 wagon... Does anyone know a good source of where to get information on what wheels fit over this particular caliper and rotor? or better yet... does anybody have them? any 17" wheel will do? does there need to be a specific offset? I was looking at 5Zigen FN01R-C 17X8 48mm.

Are you going to race the car....if not you must be a very wealthy person to use such brakes on the street.

wealth is not the matter, it is good connections and good reason for such a serious brake.

Can you get more? If so, PM me with a quote. Good stuff. In the meantime, call/click AP to see if they can send you a template of the brake caliper so you can take some measurements, and check your current wheels. I would be very surprised if the APs were bigger than the Brembo golds, and STi wheels (duh) and Rota Tarmac IIs fit over those. Also, check the AP caliper size against Stoptechs. Those are large calipers, but quite a few wheels fit those, while many do not.

Oh.....I just figured your were just another young, dumb, wannabe with too much money and nothing between your ears but NAAWWSSS...

But if you are building a real race car, then I guess you might need 6-pots.

it's cool... I just assumed you were just another typical ignorant American guy who likes to call out rich boys... (and has a rex for straightline racing). no hard feelings?.. heee hee.

my wagon is still a street car... used for daily commuting to school.. hauling art materials... it also serves as a "love wagon!" and trackable car. Also have a lot of canyon runs out here which you can really brake late!
