    What would be the price of a half kit?

      The ABS ring on the front E36 hubs contacts the sensor. Am I using the wrong front bearing?

        The front has more parts, which half are you curious about?

              I just wanted to post and let everyone know that E38 style 5's 16x8 et23 fit with this kit and E46M3 brakes on the front. So you are not limited to 17" and bigger wheels.

                do you have pics for front calipers clearance?

                  For me I had to use a 3mm spacer to make a few mm clearance with new pads (there is a little more than appears at this angle) it isn't a diameter issue but the outer edge of the caliper hitting the curved transition to the barrel

                    I can take pics but it is as Whodwho says. The calipers just barely touch the curved part of the barrel. I took a grinder to the caliper a hit the edges that were touching. I barely took anything off and they fit perfect. They were touching by about a millimeter. But a small spacer will do the same thing.

                    Whodwho how long are your studs? Do they fit behind the caps? Where did you buy them?

                      Got it, grinder the caliper only..
                      and the caliper carrier is free from barrel curved?

                        Yes. I took the grinder only to the left and right of the M/// on the caliper. I won't get back out to the car until the end of next week some time. I will take some pics then.

                                Here is a couple pics of where the wheel was touching the caliper. You can see the ring it made on the wheel.





                                Here are a couple of pics of where I used the grinder on the caliper. I had already painted over it but you can still see.





                                And I tried to take a couple of pics of the clearance between the caliper and wheel. I don't have a camera so all my pics are with a cellphone sorry for the bad quality. I hope it helps.

                                57mm worked perfectly. Thank you.
