    SBI Rotor spacers

    Where do you get the SBI spacers to run the E36 M3 brake set-up on the E30 front assembly?

            e30 m3 strut housings, e36 m3 calipers, rotors, 5 lug wheels

            then you'd need to convert the back to 5 lug.

                315mm or so rotor means 17" rims.

                You can squeeze a 300mm disc under a 16" rim though.

                  Well funnily enough I can fit 16's over my fronts (323mm w/porsche brembo's) and 15's over the rears (312 w/porsche brembo's).

                  As a rule Smoodiver is correct, but each wheel type is different so it pays to check.

                    over on s14.net they're fitting 324mm e46 m3 rotors with 850ci calipers in a stock 16" weave.

                    I'm battling with my damn wheels right now. It looks like I'll only be able to fit a 309mm rotor...

                    meh.

                      You CAN fit some 16" wheels over e36 m3 brakes. I've seen it in person and tire rack sells a 16" winter package.

                        The At Italia Type 5 16x7.5" rims fit over E36 M saucers.

                          Weird coincedence- I just installed a set of the AT Italia type 5's on a e46 330ci today, which if I remember correctly has close to the same size brakes as the e36 m3.

                            There are a handful of 16s that will work, but when I sell these I recomend a 17in wheel with an offset in the high 30s or 40s for perfect fitment.

                            I have spacers in stock. PM me.
