You cannot go by just rotor size to determine what size wheels you can use. The caliper will be the determining factor as the caliper sticks out further than the rotor will. |
OK, but is the E46 328 caliper an upgrade over the stock ti caliper? The reason I ask is in the notes of the very first post in this thread it states "The thickness of the rotor is the same for the 286mm and the 300mm as well as the breaking surface." So that makes it sound to me that by simply moving to a slightly larger rotor, I'm not gaining anything.
Trust me, if I can upgrade the front brakes and not spend $1,800 by going to a big brake kit, I'm all for it!
