    I am also interested in this info. And would these brakes fit with the TRMotorsport C1 15x8s?

    Anyone fit these behind euroweaves yet??? they are 15x7 ET24. I'm thinking I need a 8-10mm spacer.

    Did you ever fit those esm 008? Interested in those rims myself. What tire size are you running?

    Offset is really not as much of a factor as the internal spoke design. Wheels with concave spokes will have more caliper clearance than deep dish style wheels regardless of offset.

    That said, I don't think the XXR 16x8et0 was designed with brake clearance in mind.

    There's no need to mess with the ABS when running this setup. Stock rotors are 265mm

    So I always get confused with offsets. I run a 16x8 xxr i think they are 002's with a zero offset. Will this work better with these brakes or will I need huge spacers to make work? Also do you run the stock ABS with this set up? And finally I believe the rotor size used is a 280mm with these rotors, what is the stock size rotor?

    Thanks for the help.

    i originally had a bias valve on my black car, but ended up running it all the way open so it really wasn't doing anything. With similar pad compounds in front and back, the bias is just fine.

    Here's a pic of my setup to add to the site (Konig Lightning)

    I used the e34 M5 master cylinder (25mm i think?) Pedal is stiff and feedback is awesome. Shitty pads hindered me at the track but overall i was quite happy.

    Ok guys I started a wheel fitment database and hosted it on my website. Let me know if you have any additions.
    I submitted that TR Motorsports 15x7 et20 would fit with a 5mm spacer,but couldn't put a picture up.

    But here is the pic you can use on your site:


    I also just got my spacers in to run Esm 008 16x9 et15 so I'll try to get pics in later.

    *just noticed on your site you needed pics/write-up of the install? If you still need someone to do it, I'm game. My car ain't going anywhere til my m50 swap is done and being unemployed gives me lots of free time lol
