Because the offset of the caliper relatively to the rotor, as well as the height of the pads will be off.

Let me see if I can dig that up and scan it. The info might not apply directly to you Art but may be useful for the 5-lug crowd in general.

Anyone has realized that e36 M3 knuckles and calipers sell for under $200.00usd in tip top shape?

Sorry Lee....I f'd up, I meant NON-M brakes to an M-Knuckle. I want the caster from the M-Knuckle, but want the non-M brakes so I can still run my 15's during the winter. If this could be easily achieved, I would buy 2 new knuckles right now.

The e36 M3's mounting points are 6.9mm more inward.
The e36 M3's mounting point's radius is 2mm smaller.Brake harder. Go faster. No shit.

Thanks Lee. So the caliper body would be straddling the rotor 2mm closer, and the E36 M3's mounting "ears" are 6.9mm deeper. But otherwise the bolt pattern is the same.
Originally posted by Aptyp View Postah, so 6.9mm spacer puts in right place, but then it's going to be touching rotor...
Got a solution you're thinking off, Lee?

Bolt patterns are the same between ///M3 and regular e36.
Got a solution? Yeah sure. Get a BBK with the proper caliper mounts ;-)Brake harder. Go faster. No shit.
