    360mm brakes under 18s

    Im planning a 360mm brake conversion. But will it fit under 18s. Not sure on size of calipers yet but i suspect theyll be huge

    I can't see yours fitting neal, knowing how close mine are and they are small calipers. But i guess wait and see, you can always use spacers

    Its not just dependent on wheel size, but wheel design and size of the calipers.

    I know someone who used to have an e39 m5, which has 345mm front discs and he had some 17" bmw wheels that he would use for winter. But it was a tight fit and there was only one type of 17" bmw wheel that would fit over the brakes.
