15x8 with BBK options

[BlackbirdM3]

What brakes are you running? I'd love to upgrade from the POS single piston to anything with more than a single piston caliper.

There's no way the K4R don't fit. There's also a selection of light 15x7s that will fit (team dynamics pro races, LTW5s), and 15s will offer better tire selection than 16s. If your only criteria is brake clearance, I'd do some more research before going to 16s.

They don't list that as fitting the M3. Obviously the rotor won't fit, but I wonder if the calipers will work with the stock M3 rotor? I'm guessing no. I wonder who makes the calipers?

As far as I know, the original RX-7 featured a 1146 cc twin-rotor Wankel rotary engine and a front-midship, rear-wheel drive layout. The RX-7 replaced the RX-3 I think this is worth it.

Oh word.

Yeah the K4R's look like an option, but i just put the order in the the Direzza 2's. I already have the 16x7's so it'll save me some money for this season.

I plan on using Enkei 92's at 15x8. They are only 15.6 lbs. :)

So do they fit over the UUC BBK? Maybe spacer required? thinking about going this route also.

My setup with TRM C-1s and the CATuned kit:

[dude8383]

That appears to be the street kit. The OP has a slightly larger version that will NOT clear those wheels.

I have the Wideopens, but stock brakes. Not sure if I can be any help as far as BBK fitment, but I agree with wh33lhope, there isn't much room in there. It's fairly tight, even on stock calipers.

rx7 fits with a 5mm

What model RX-7? I was looking into upgrading kits also

[fanboi]

This is the Kit I have.

These are the wheels I have as well, 4 lug. I wish there was a more stock alternative...



There was a thread once upon a time that had wheels for BBKs in the wheels and tires section but I cant seem to find it right now. Let me keep looking


*edit--Found it
