Essex AP RadiCAL 9668 fitment question

[NYG]

I'm trying to avoid cutting out the template to verify but would I have any fitment issues with either of my street/track wheels?

Track: Apex EC-7 18x10 ET25 + 5mm Spacer
Street: BMW 763M 19X9 ET29

Thanks

Wait till all the track slags see your shiney new anchors, there's going to be a party in the paddock

Someone more qualified can answer your actual question

Until you show up in your shiny new car gapping all the plodders...

Run both of those with 9668 and no issues. I do run 10 mm spacers with stock 763M, no spacers with EC-7 18x10 ET25.

Pretty sure I have run 763 without spacers but I can’t recall for sure.

Amazing BBK and considering adding 9449 rears.

Which pads you go with?

Thank you!!

I haven't ordered them yet but I think I'd be dumb to at least not try the Ferodos that you basically get for free with the set. Otherwise, I love PFC pads.

Any pics? Would love to see them on your car! I've got an LRG 4CS as well.

Pretty happy with the new Ferodo DS3.12’s. Punished them really hard at Laguna Seca with 7 25 minutes sessions in one 15 minute session. They did show significant wear, but no way any other brake would’ve held up to that kind of punishment.

Damn that looks close! How far is it from the balance weights?

More room than it appears, don’t think it’s even close to the weights

I feel like I'd murder my splitter there with my lowered ride height. I want to go to Seca so bad.

Blind drop into the corkscrew is pretty dramatic, particularly your first time. Don’t know of anybody destroying a splitter there, but buddy in E92 M3 ground his splitter dropping into t6 at Sonoma. Couldn’t figure out most of the day what that noise was, then somebody was standing there and said check your splitter.

You have to make it out to Laguna at some point, it’s too much fun.

I bet, tons of nice tracks over there. The only "local" 10/10 tracks by me are Lime Rock and Watkins Glen.

Couple pretty legendary tracks right there, guess we both have it pretty good

The Apex EC7, FL5 and SM10 wheels all clear the Essex/AP 9668/9660 F and 9449 R brake kits. The real test is whether a F wheel will clear the 9668 caliper!

I’d also take a look at BW’s new TA5R FF wheel. They have the typical 9.5et22 F/11et44 R and 10et25 F/11et44 R setups. Their cost is similar to the EC7 but are stronger than the FL5/SM10. I’m going to try the 10” F/11” R setup with PSC2s.

I use PFC pads with my 9668/9449 setup. 11 compound up front and 05 compound at the rear (rear is actually a 7767 pad modified to a 7768 pad which has a larger inner radius).

Remember you can also run the 10.5 ET36 square setup so you can rotate. 15mm spacer up front

I am mounting my first set of tires on the new BW wheels, so excited!

What size tires did you mount on these and guessing you went with RE71?

Between BW and the Titan7 for a square set up at 10.5”

I have 3 sets of the BW 10.5s so I run:
275/35 square re71
275/35 square bfg r1
285/30 square bfg r1s

Really happy with them

295/30/18 works too.
