bbk and m45 wheels

Does anyone know if the M45 wheels will clear a bbk? Thanks!

Look at Wilwood. I think they make a caliper that isn't as wide as most other BBK. I think the others might be a very tight fit or not work. You'd have to run larger spacers than normal with the M wheels

Pretty low clearance as far as BBKs go. About 1"

They would probably sit slightly tucked on your sedan without spacers. The likeliness of them fitting without spacers is slim.

But then with large spacers you run into the trouble of have the wheels stick too far out.

What size space do you have, best bet is try and see if it fits.

You'd probably need to run atleast a 15mm spacer, and use a 225/40 tire.

well right now i just have longer studs sitting here. im gonna order spacers. its just such a pain in the a$$ if i order the wrong ones. im planning on getting turbo and i just want to give them the spacers and studs and have them do it while they do the install. im sure they could find em for me but im spending so much already i would rather just get em online.
