18" wheels that fit Brembo 355mm fronts on 335i

noolag · 07-10-2008, 10:10 PM

Hey everyone,

I am looking to see what 18" wheels will fit my e92 with 355mm 6 piston brembo brakes. This is for the front obviously. Anyone with current experience or any info is welcome to chime in.

Thanks in advance.

What size rotors do you have? Obviously you can't fit 18s with the 380mm rotors. M6 reps or 189s should clear the 355mm one

The 355mm rotor will fit under just about any wheel:

The problem is that the 6 piston caliper is pretty massive and may not fit.
I can measure an 18" CSL for you if you like, and see if it will fit. We have the 6 pistons here, as well as some templates.

You need to have more than 210mm of clearance. That is the measurement that you're going to have to clear. It is the "C" dimension of the center of the rotor to the outer most measurement of the caliper for Brembo's 6-piston 355mm set-up. You're going to need at least 3 - 4 mm clearance to be on the safe side, so 213 - 214mm.

The issue you're going to have is with the barrel of the wheel. No spacer is going to help. I've done extensive research on this topic. Check out my thread in the Brakes section. You'll need to measure the wheel from the center line of the mounting hub to the barrel. This is the critical measurement. The Brembo 6-piston's are LARGE compared to the 4-piston. They are 10mm larger in fact. You're going to have to watch 18" wheels for sure.
