You are welcome - happy to help when I can. It's not the caliper that's the issue. It's the suspension. Based on my research I believe only a 12mm spacer is needed with a 295. However I will know more after I do some testing. I will test on my e92. The e92 and the f8x have very similar front fitment / space.


You are welcome. The RIA is not being discontinued as far as I know.



RIA is an amazing bang for buck IMO.
if it is only a 12 mm spacer than at an effective offset of +18 then its not as bad but these are 11s. Well lookng to see how the test fit goes on your E92.

So I ended up going with a set of TE37s for now. I do plan on ordering a set of RIAs either in Diamond Black or Silver next spring in square size. The offsets are more conservative than the GT4 wheels but they still have a very similar look.
Please allow plenty of time for an RIA special order color. At best it takes me 2 months to get them (if in stock in Japan). At worst 6 months if they need to be produced.

I did an initial test fit of the GT4 wheels last night. 12mm front spacers are sufficient.
