Will a BBK fit on your car with the m45 rims? I think I've read in the forum that the factory brembos won't fit if we have m45 rims on our car. Please post any pictures if anyone has them.

You could always try and upgrade to a thicker Spacer if need be.

True. I just wanted to know if anyone has ever installed BBK with M45 wheels on their car.

I was going to try about month ago but decided to send my funds in a different direction.

I say go with 25mm
Is the best in my opinion.
Sets your wheels in very nice position, almost in line with fenders
and you can fit anything you want behind them.
I got 25mm and lovin it

My suggestion is to look at a M45 with the sport wheels and note the type of clearances it has from the oem brakes. Or have someone take a picture of their wheel to oem caliper clearance. If there isn't at least another 4-5" of clearance, you will have a hard time having them clear.
But because these wheels use a 50mm offset and because the M series was never offered with the wide arsed 4 piston brembos, I'll say no, they won't fit.
IMHO using a spacer wide enough to clear brembos isn't a wise thing to do. They would have to be way long, requiring new studs at least. Also, the spoke design is anther factor for bbk clearance, not just the offsets.
If you want a bbk and if you really want an oem wheel that clears, I'd try to sell/trade for the 19" Coupe wheels. They "should" clear with no spacers and are a TON lighter. IMHO a much cleaner/safer solution.

yea i would not go with 25mm spacers on the sedan with theses rims.
Maybe you could just do the Racingbrake oem caliper 13" rotor kit. It should clear no problem and will give you better performance and looks.
