Hi there,

I'm building a V10 e30 with M3 kit. I got an offer for style 65 18 inch. I have to run 18 because of my big brake kit. Does anyone know what et I have to have in order to clear the brake callipers?
They are Brembo from Cayenne up front and Boxter at rear.
They are 18X8 et 20 up front
18X9.5 et 22 rear

I have bbs style 5 17" et20 on my E30 m3 with e46 M3 325mm front brakes.
I had to grind the calipers a bit to get clearance.
The Brembos are very wide, I would guess you might need a 30mm spacer.

Yes they are quite big. If I get wider body kit what I have orderd and not normal what I got it wouldn't be a problem sinde I would need big spacers. But with this kit I think it is not an option then.
With et 20 on you car the rims are pretty flush if I remember?
Also I have e36 compact wheel hubs at back which will put wheel 1.9 cm out.

my rear suspension is e30 M3, with the 9" et20 wheels and 245 30 17 tyres there is minimal clearance to the m3 flared rear wings.
