Question 17" stock wheels fit over grey Brembo brakes?

AS the title states will my 17" stock wheels fit over the grey Brembo brakes?

Thanks


The answer is yes a 17” stock BMW wheel will fit over the grey brembo caliper.

OEM style 393 for F30:
7.5x17" ET37, 225/50-17

Are the gray brembos what would come on 2013 335xdrive with msport package but not necessarily msport brake upgrade?

I just realized there's a difference and might be able to run 17" winter wheels.

You need 18" Wheels at least, when you have the 370mm front rotors Brembo brakes.

340mm Brembo or smaller will work with 17" wheels.
(so all stock grey calipers will work with 17" wheels)

Okay thanks!

I am just trying to avoid issues when installing the brakes due to I am running my 17” winter set up right now. If they will fit over my brakes then it might be easier and more cost effective to keep the 17’s and sell the 18’s.

I also have a dilemma now that I bought some 19” summer wheels.

I would like to run 18 winters but I would need to buy winter tires.

I already have 17” winter set up.

I was sure about that since in Europe 335/340i (without M Sport) has 17" wheels from factory.
