340i Brembo Brakes & Wheelsize fit

insanecoder · 06-11-2016, 04:33 PM

Hi my 340i mSport track handling pkg has blue Brembo M Performance Brakes..
Am trying to get a set of 18" wheels for it and want to make sure they will clear the big brakes. I see on the configurator the 397 18s will but the other 18s negate the track handling package seemingly dont fit.

Question:
Does anyone know for Brembo(blue) brakes if BMW is using the 355mm kit OR 380mm kit?
What is the rule for getting an 18" wheel over these upgraded Brembos brakes? Please dont say just get 19s

The Msport brake size is 370mm and should fits 18" wheels without any problem but so sure 380mm kit?

All OEM 18" wheels designed for F30 clear the M Sport brakes.

Spec. 8x18" ET34.

I get conflicting info regarding this issue from other chat forums.
I want 18"s and its not clear at all that all OEM 18s will clear even the MSport brakes.
Its almost a wheel model by wheel model basis.
Looks like its really a problem for the 370mm rotors in the front wheels but the MSport brakes will rub against the inner diameter of some 18" wheels.. and forget M Performance brembos those are 380mm ya gotta go 19" on those.
.BMW. curious.. where did you get the info that all 18" oems will clear?

M Performance Brakes for the F3x Series are 370mm as well (front).

18" OEM BMW wheels will clear.

But if you're buying another set of wheels, I'd recommend APEX wheels.
