TRmotorsports MT1 18x10 stoptech bbk clearance
Anybody know if these wheels will clear the 6-pot 380mm ST-60? I know the APEX wheels of similar size will, but not sure if these will...

Out of curiosity, what's driving you to the TR wheels rather than APEX? I'm thinking about a set of EC-7s since I consistently read good things about APEX wheels and see them on the track a lot, plus they clear BBKs, are less expensive than the TR wheel, and come in more finishes. And even though the TR wheel costs more, it's just gravity cast, whereas the EC-7 is flow-formed, which Tire Rack's own article acknowledges is better.

I picked up a slightly used set of TRs here on the forums wrapped in Rs. The apex EC-7 was my first choice. Then ARC-8..then the TR. So simply cost was my deciding factor. If I didn't nab these, I'd def go w APEX.

TR MT1 is flow-formed, made by Enkei.

It's also a little lighter than the EC7. I love my MT1's, I think they look every bit as good as EC7, are lighter, and look a whole bunch better than the buggly Arc-8

The EC-7 was designed with a specialized barrel shape has a large, sharp step-up after the drop center to clear even a Brembo 380mm kit with lots of room to spare. The Brembo kit is much larger than the Stoptech 380. The EC-7 should have more clearance in this area. The ARC-8 has our older barrel design but can still easily clear a Stoptech 380 kit.

ARC8s clear the 380mm BBK...just need to be careful with the wheel weight placement.
