Unfortunately I didn't snap a shot of it while the car was in the air. But I've attached an image of the problem area.
It's really close. It contacts and the top and bottom of the caliper bracket.Last edited by dpmcdonald; 11-18-2016, 10:29 AM.'91 318is turbo

I see. Well, I don't want to run a spacer and bought these under the impression I wouldn't have to. I was told these wheels would even clear a BBK.'91 318is turbo

I don't want to steal anyone's thunder but I spoke with Matt regarding this.
I'm running a UUC BBK, and the concave version of these wheels.
I was told even with the UUC BBK I should only need a 5mm Spacer, however the first gentleman here (with the red car) also said he needed to run a 5mm spacer as well. If you wanted a set without the need for spacers and BBK clearance the flat faced were the ideal choice. Realistically a 5mm Spacer isn't a big deal imo. Personally I am more concerned if the tires will rub with the required spacer.
For the groups knowledge I haven't test fitted these wheels yet with my BBK.

I'm sure you could grind down that portion of the bracket a hair on the OE brake caliper, but I can see why one wouldn't want to do that.
