17 inch wheels that clear the front OEM brakes?

marconi118 · 08-19-2010, 03:19 AM

I am looking at 17 inch wheels to put slicks for the track.

99% of the 17 wheels will not clear the front M3 OEM calliper, but some time ago I saw on this forum someone that found a 17 inch wheel that clears fine.
Impossible to find again this tread with the search on the forum.

can you help me to find 17 inch wheels that fit on the front and the rear ?

why not just run 18" front, 17" rear?

I really need 17 all around because of local regulations....

17" rims that will clear 14" brakes are very very rare, probably have to have it custom made. The problem isn't the offset tho, more inner barrel clearance.

yes it is quite rare but it exist, I sow it on this forum once but don't find it again.

That is why I started this post

I don't think you'll find decent 17 inch wheels that will work. Note how close the rear toe arm is to an 18 inch wheel, not to mention just clearing the front brakes.
