Bringing this up from the dead a bit. Really considering this upgrade [pistons and larger rotor] but I am wondering if this kit would fit under 17" wheels, specifically the arc-8s. I hope yes, as it seems to push out the caliper 4mm. To be honest I have not run 17s yet, so I'm not sure how much slack there is to begin with on a 135i running 17s.

Thoughts?

I have a different bbk but the same dimensions as these and mine barely fit my Arc 8 18's, so 17's would be highly unlikely. Would post pic so you could see but for some reason I am challenged tonight. It is literally less than 1/4 inch between caliper and the rim. Maybe with the new ec-7's.

that's what i thought. the 17s looked really attractive in terms of tire costs, but 18s will be fine

thanks blutattoo!

The 17's on there would be really really tight and I think would depend on the wheel. 18's would definitely be the safer way to go.
