I won't get a chance to track them till mid June. Hoping the AP kit performs well at Road Atlanta.

I went ahead and ordered the European OEM 18s style 260 today. According to AP these will clear the kit without spacers. Going to use it as my winter set up, Canadian dollar is so par with US dollar, so I figured now is the best time to order.
Evan@Tischer said he can get them, and if they aren't diff then North American versions they will take them back. Part numbers are below if anyone is interested. 36102283750, fronts 36102283751, rears

Chris was kind enough to send me a pic of the AP kit behind European style 260 OEM 18" wheels.
I didn't know these looked so much like OEM 19s.

Hmm - I could have swore I had seen a set of 260's on a European members car and they looked more like the 18's over here, just no taper on the spokes.
Very interesting - they look good though! |

After I got my AP kit and realized the stock Style 219 front's wouldn't fit, I considered getting a pair of Style 260's for the front but staying with "normal" Style 219's for the rear. After tracking down every photo I could of both, I concluded that the two styles were different enough in appearance that it would look goofy, so I bought a pair of MS 10mm spacers with black bolts instead. I already own three sets of 219's, so I wasn't enthusiastic about starting over.

Hey lemme ask Chris something (or anyone else that knows)...The front rotors are 36 mm thick and the rear I believe 26...at what thickness do they need to be replaced?

and do you know what the limits are for other manufacturers (Brembo/ST)? How long would that 1.5mm take to shave off? Obviously it varies...but we talking longer than stock?

Chris,
Any chance if AP in the UK can send us a pic of the BBK with a OEM 18" 260 wheel? The other pic is def a 19" wheel.
