****OK, so i took 1 for the team/forum and attempted to test fit a factory 18 inch non-beadlock wheel and after 2 attempts & several knicks and paint removal on my brand new calipers, i can say no bueno.

Trying to split the 10 second video into 2 shorter videos, but the Forum website is not letting me upload it. Will try again in a bit.

No prob mane! I was curious too as i'm storing my OEM 18s in the attic for essentially nothing now lolol. I'd be curious to see which 18" wheel does fit the RC brakes since they say 18" and up is required. There's gotta be some 18" out there that fits!

I appreciate the lines on the bolts. Big fan of doing that on stuff!
Hell yea esp. when the dealer is always F'in with my shit lol. I've been using a red paint pen for like 10yrs but finally snagged the good torque stripe stuff. Seems like it will hold up to the elements way better

The Weld Ledge in 18x9 -12 cleared for me.

A vossen I had also cleared I wish i had snapped some photos.
 
Hey Nick, I got to ask since nobody has yet but how are these brakes for towing?

I'm no expert but if they dissipate heat better then they're probably better for towing. I've been towing since I was 16 and heat is always the killer esp. towing a trailer with no brakes of its own

Agreed! How do you like the new RC brakes Rick? Do you like them better than the powerstops?

EDIT: just read that you literally just finished the install lol. Ok so report back next week after some driving then :LOL:
