Brembo BBK rubs on rear 19s

OzStriker · 01-08-2010, 04:26 PM

I just installed a set of 380mm Brembos on the M3 and they work fine with my VMR V713s.

I just tried to install some VB3 CSL-reps and the lower caliper bolt on the rear calipers rubs on the inside of the rim.

Any ideas?

Are there low-profile caliper bolts?

Should I file the head of the bolt down the 2mm or so required for clearance?

Install a 5mm spacer

Tried that but no luck...

Here is the mark:

Here is the offending bolt (with rub mark where it hit the VMR VB3, a VMR 713 with 10mm spacer is currently fitted):

the smaller bolts are available just ask your shop.

so did the vmr 713 clear brembos without spacer?

This does not make sense. You spend thousands on a BBK and have an m3 yet you put ultra cheap VMR wheels on? A whole set is like 900 bucks and I had them on older bmw's that were not driven hard but I take it you go to the track if you are putting a BBK it and you are really taking a chance with a 900 dollar set of wheels.

Have you seen his mod list? G-Power SKII SC amongst many other high end products. What's it to you why he's using VMR wheels?

You're also a hypocrite, you drive a relatively expensive vehicle (M3) yet have a 2 cent attitude.

Sorry I couldn't be of help OP, not my area of expertise.
