Is there a 4lug bbk that will fill this wheel? I saw the wilwood 6 piston, but that was m3 5lug fitment....

Lee Vuong of Massive brakes who makes that 6 piston kit you saw makes, three different 4 lug BBK's for the regular e30 as well.

All 3 of the e30 4 lug setups say, requires a 15inch wheel. Am i missing something??

Probably a minimum of a 15" wheel, this is just a guess though

yes its minimum. i am curious what 4 lug bbk's actually require a 17 inch to clear...

Only certain 15" wheels have the barrel clearance to fit over the caliper. It's not a guarantee. You'd want to discuss fitment with Lee.

i understand that, and no offense but thats not the nature of my question. is there is a 4 lug bbk that will not fit a 15 or 16" wheel, but actually will only fit with a 17"?

if not, i would rather run a 15/16 and save money on rubber. Thanks for your responses guys

If you're looking for brakes for looks, I think you've missed the point...

Let me get this straight. You want to buy a BBK but you are trying to limit your wheel size in order to save money on tires? Do you go through so many tires that 17" are that much more expensive than 15s or 16's? I am confused...

He's just looking for that "Filled-up wheel" look. If you want the largest 4-lug BBK on the market I think K-Sport is your best option but they're pricey and unproven.

it's like buying a hooker and taking her to a nice restaurant.... No need.

If i end up with a BBK that will work with 15 inch wheels, then i will buy 15 inch wheels, as opposed to going with 17's "for the look".

i dont want to buy a wheel that limits my BBK options down the road, and conversely i dont want to buy a wheel that is more size than I will ever need.

back to the question... What is the largest 4 lug BBK that people are running.

when did i say that i am looking for the "filled up look" I am not looking for a BBK for the bling dude. I am asking a simple question.

Havent heard many good things about K sport..

[Blip Bavarian]

thanks for the insight. Ill switch to Burger King.

cause there's not many good things to say about k sport LOL. You say you want something that won't limit your bbk options. Well a 17 makes more sense than 15 or 16. Cool, If you can find a kit to fit those wheels, but then your stuck. Buy same kit with bigger wheels and you have room to improve if need be. Why might I ask are you looking for a bbk anyway?

cause my stock brakes are shit. I want a setup thats not gonna fade after 2 laps.

Brakes for me are down the road though, i have got to finish getting my suspension sorted. I'm trying to decide whether or not to jump in on this GB.
