Thanks Eyeman
So to summarize what you did:
- Replaced rear wheel bearings, large necessary labor cost
- used the 335i rear hubs
- used a e9x 328ix/330ix 300x20mm rear rotor that fits over 135i hand brake shoes.
I am intrigued by your choice of rear rotor since 135i stock is 324X22mm. Do you see any braking behavior changes?
Next time you can use the F10 rear rotor, it is 320x20mm and requires a washer for the rear caliper to center correct
I am posting your message here for the benefit of others:

This mod is a huge plus for our cars. We either need to do this or run one of 2 or 3 wheel options. I've fought my rear wheels since buying them. But they were too nice to pass up. I'm running max factor camber now (nearly 3 deg) and not rubbing on the strut side. So when I drop back to like 1.5 deg camber I'll have plenty of room even for a 265 PSS on the inside, not so sure on the fender side since I'm lowered around an inch.
Thanks for your idea. Otherwise, I had planned to drop back to 245 PSS's my next set and still stick with that much camber. The mod will practically pay for itself in a set or two of tires due to better wear.
