Blunttech / Classic Daily S85 V10 E30 M3 Swap

Wow, I would have thought 18" at minimum to clear, but I guess with high offset wheels and spacers, the calipers at farther back in the barrel end.
I agree, 18" look to big.

I have been trying to buy a set of wheels that would be perfect for this, but the guy has gone AWOL.

17" ACT SC 3-piece split wheels, in corvette fitment 17x9.5". Et54 1" lips stock, but I have 2" lips for them to go on the rear and give 17x9.5" front and 17x10.5" rears

Same wheels as I have on my m3, but mine are 8 and 8.5"


I think you will need as much tire in the rear as possible! Should be fun though:)

Makes sense.

What size wheels do you believe will be the minimum to clear? 18"?

No The 17s clear.. 18s are too big I think. I just wanted something to get the car on the ground and drive until I know what I want. 17x10 out back?? im not sure until the brakes get mounted.. then we can experiment

No worries, thanks for the info. I figured you needed caliper clearences, but will you need to use spacers to bring the wheel back out?

yes but we dont know exactly what yet .. Jake is back from Vacation today and is going to start on the brackets. But we will need something

And yes I just didnt want to invest in a big buck set of wheels till we had everything dialed in. I figure I can sell the Koseis easy enough to an e36 track guy once I decide on wheels.

[Todd Black 88]

Lol and I think you need wider then 8" wheels and 235/245 tires on that.

Any idea the difference in final offset, or will you still be at stock dimensions front and rear? As in not requiring e36 offset wheels?

What were the price of the hats if you don't mind me asking? Pm is fine.

The wheels Ill initially be running are e36 offset 17x8 square ET40 to clear the calipers
I shouldnt comment on hat pricing as we got the hook up thanks to Andrew

I have those calipers on my 135 msport, and they are like throwing out anchors.




Stock 135 rotor size, with custom offset hats Steve?

Andrew hooked us up with the hats.
Front rotor is 336mm rear is 320mm made by Coleman racing
Really cheap too all things considered I think around 330 shipped for all 4

Those brakes are going to throw you through the windshield!

Brakes look like they're coming out great. I like the idea of the oem calipers.

Thanks for your help on those buddy

Not a huge update but something none the less.

We had found some rotors that were going to work for the brake setup but they were not ideal. So we got some hats from Ireland and then had some rotors made custom from coleman eng.

Here are the rotors when they showed up.


Fronts


Starting to mock stuff up




These are just sorta stuck in there...if you look to the left of the caliper it looks like they are hitting the wheel. The caliper is nut but there is a washer in there to keep the caliper clamped to the rotor. There is room all around.


clearance between wheel and caliper


rear rotor....nothing that exciting here.
