IE 310mm wilwood brake kit

[Fnb2121]

i just Purchased IE's Wilwood 310mm brake kit and in need to wheels to fit. they say they require at least 16's. My bbs rc090 style 5's probably wont fit. since they dont even clear the factory brakes with out a 3 mm spacer or the rattle clip removed. i have a set of throwing stars as well i will try to test fit and have a set of E38 16 style 5's . does anyone have any input or information that can help?

Forsure the style 5 won't work as they don't clear normal e30 brakes without a spacer. Might have more luck fiting the msystems. Ive been wondering if they would fit.

well wednesday i should be getting them in so ill find out soon if they work. guess that means my style 5's are for sale

The style5s might work iirc the bbk uses a slim caliper. The only reason you have to go to 16s is because the rotor is larger and won't fit inside a 15 inch wheel.

Style 5's should work, I know of a shop in central california that ran some with the kit. Think they might have needed some thin spacers though, would be interesting to see how yours fit.

Just get some Apex Arcs-8 and call it. It can fit all kinds of BBKs on e30s.

Or are you die hard on staying with 16s?

I have a BBK on my M3, running a 13" rotor and Wilwood SL6r Narrow caliper.
I have BBS RC 304s 17X8 et38 (E36 fitment), with 20mm spacer with no clearance issues at all.

Well if I can get away with the 17inch style 5's that would be nice. I also have m system II's as well. Both are 17x8 et 20 it's just a matter of the thickness of the spokes. They say I need about 1 3/4 in from the face of the rotor to the rear of the spokes in order for the wheels to clear. The stock brakes have a clearance of 1.25 with the e39 style 5's I havnt check the m systems yet. But the bbk will have different fitment anyways. Worst case I'll go with the arc-8 they are nice wheels anyways. Just didn't want to cough of the money for them right now since I just bought the brakes and suspension for the car.

U might be able to get away with the 17s not the 16s

The 17" style 5's do clear the stock brakes without spacers but not sure if they will clear with your setup. You would have to remove the rattle clips though or go with a 5mm spacer. However the offset is already pushing the rim out pretty far and you may have issues with your fenders depending on which tire you run.

Cheers,

Update? Did the 17" style fives fit?

[einstein57]

Not sure if there is much of a difference between the 4 lug and 5 lug kit but my 4 lug 310mm kit needed 5mm spacers to clear my redrilled faces.

update ARC-8 are on the car. the style 5 do not work.

BTW i have a set of m system II just laying around now.
