Does anyone know if this wheel will fit on a 04 Coupe with Brembos?
All of toronto is running out of BSA 264s and I have a guy who can get me a set of these at a very good price. only thing is that he hasn't put these on a coupe before and not sure if they will clear the breaks.
please let me know ASAP!

LOL I have one set of BSA264's in my garage right now! New in the boxes. Eagle 196's should fit, they clear the caliper by a hair. they however look like they sit in too much shortens the wheelbase width by a smidge.

where were u when I needed u? do u have a new email address? can u pm it to me? I sent u an email on the old address, dun think u got it.
Too bad I am pretty much commited to buy these rims now, cuz I went for a test fit today, and they do infact fit. there is about 1mm of clearance. Hope that won't be a problem!!
So I am getting these Eagle 196's with Dunlop M3 225/55/17 all around
Then I gotta refinish my scratched wheel :P
and look for some summer tires for next season... the work never ends...

The issue of clearance will not be a problem as the rim will not flex to hit the calipers. Those rims still look really nice on the coupe. Not sure about the emails, I had an issue with hotmail and my lovely PC.
No worries, when you need to get those done let me know I can get them refinished for you.
