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?

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.Last edited by Fnb2121; 08-30-2012, 03:36 PM.

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.

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.Your signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.
