    Most solutions I see use a spacer between the hub and rotor because there are no OEM rotors in the larger diameter/thickness with a shallow hat depth.
    Actually I have a 2 piece rotor designed for this exact situation! I use factory rotors in my kit with small rotor spacers as it is much more cost effective than producing a custom 2 piece rotor.

    I will shoot you a PM.

            Well, a few kits have sold; and I'm most of the way done with a custom kit using Porsche 997 GT3 PCCB calipers front and rear with 350mm front rotors and 332mm rear rotors. Unfortunately I've been buried in school work and not able to dedicate as much time to marketing as I'd like :/

                That sounds insane. I can't wait to see the finished product.

                  Here are some pictures from the 135i Brake upgrade we did on my e30 M3. (I'm the manufacturer of Rongineer13's 5 Lug kit parts).

                  I had the fronts on the car for 6 months and numerous track days and just completed the rears and the first track event. Huge improvement on stopping force and no fading whatsoever. Obviously this could be duplicated for other e30 M3's but it does not come cheap.

                  For those still on the fence on the 5 Lug conversions. A few kits have been sold and installed and are working well. Guten Parts and Service is also going to install the kit on their famous 'Black Betty" car and BMW Performance Magazine will do a story on it soon. We are motivated to sell more and have kits that are ready to go, so if you have been sitting on the fence now is the time.

                      I received one of these kits on Friday and the quality on the machining is very nice.
                      Ill be using E46 318 front brakes so Ill update this week with how I go fitting them

                        Almost got these installed

                        Got the caliper brackets and hubs on. Hubs went on very nice, no pressing needed and tightened up as they should. I had to grind the e46 brackets a bit and add some washers to center the bracket on the rotor. I also drilled and time-serted where the original caliper bolts go instead of using nuts and bolts.
                        Found out today that they have 2 rotor sizes for non M e46 286mm and 300mm
                        With the 286mm rotor the pad sticks out over the edge of the rotor so Im getting some 300s tomorrow and will try to fit them. Got it all under a set of 15x7" et20 Style 3s
                        Should have pics tomorrow

                              Yeah they fit no problem
                              I did end up milling my adapters a bit to get rid of the washers

                                What is the lowest offset you can run on the front with the standard front kit? Can you run an Et20? Do you sell the rear kit separately? How much for just the rear kit?
