Massive BBK Wheel Fitment Guide

[Massive Lee]

Manufacturers have wheels that fit, then those wheels get discontinued. Kosei had the K6R and K4R. The e30 hasn't been produced for over 25 years, so obviously selection of brand new wheels might not be as wide as 10 or 15 years ago. ;-)

Then there are the UL 949 rims.

Then there are the UL 949 rims.

These are a confirmed fit? I've been searching for a second set of wheels and am looking for alternatives to the C1. Not that there is anything wrong with them.

They now fit well. First race in 2 weeks. Thanks.

Mike - I'm considering buying the same K8Rs you have, and I have a Massive BBK 300x32 setup. What spacers are you running (F/R), and did you have to file the calipers?

Hey all, a long shot, but does anyone have any updates on 15x8 wheels that would work with the 300x32 kit? I am close to just resigning myself to the fact that custom wheels are needed.

Maybe ? Jongbloed wheels ? I want to know too !

Hi everyone.

Wondering if anyone has experience with these Sparco wheels available in 15x7 and 15x8 wih er25

They seem to offer great clearance for a 300x21mm or 300x32mm Massive BBK

There seems to be tons of clearance behind the spokes for a thick rotor and caliper.

I've been looking at those, ~1lb lighter than TRM C1 is attractive.

Their site says they're available in 15x9 also, but I can't find them anywhere and I'm skeptical about whether I want to go through the pain of sourcing anything wider than a 225.

Luis sent me this picture
300x21mm BBK w/ Superlite calipers under 16x8 XXR 530. Tons of clearance.

The 15 inch Sparco wheels fit great. No clearance issues.

[Massive Lee]

Wow. Yup. Very nice rims. Over the years, some great wheels become NLA, and new wheels get offered.
What width of wheels are they? 7" or 8" wide
Is that a front 300x21mm Sport kit or 300x32mm Race kit?
Let us know.. ;-)

Hey All, Anyone have 15x8 Advanti Storm S1s they have put 300 x 32mm kit under? I'm not so concerned about barrel clearance (still need to check with template), but want to know if I need to go beyond existing 5mm spacers on ET25 wheel? Thanks, John Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

Well, unless I'm doing something silly, it doesn't look like a 300 x 32 kit is going to fit my wheels. ET25. Knife is 20mm perfectly so it looks like even if I used a massive spacer, it still won't fit Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

Sorry, should have put that info in the original post.
The brake kit is the 300x21mm sport kit. The wheels are the 8". However, with the 8", there was clearance issues with the strut, so you would definitely need a spacer.

I suggest that if using a 300x32mm (11.75"x1.25") kit , then a 12mm hubcentric shall work well.

What about the Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2?



Bimmerworld has them in 15x7 for $130/ea and the weigh 13.2 lbs. I like the styling better than the 2.0.

TD 1.2 in 15x7 E30 sizing does not fit over Lee's 300x32 race kit with a Wilwood SL6R caliper.

Its not a spoke clearance issue, the caliper physically does not fit in the barrel. 😌
