I have a few questions and hope you can answer/help me.

1 - what size wheels are those? Do you think a 19 inch m-sport wheel would be fine?

2 - I see you mentioned caliper is a direct fit but needs some adjustments(spacer/washer ?) - can you let me know what you did here? like any additional part numbers?

3 - Finally, where did you get the calipers? was it used or new?


Thanks
My wheels are 20 inch. Cant confirm whether oem 19s would fit since the calipers are huge.

Yep direct fit. I just used a custom made 4mm thick stainless steel spacer/washer that fit between the caliper and knuckle, and longer bolts. The bolts I used were oem BMW subframe bolts, which were a bit long but I was able to shorten em. I had to order 25 of these spacers so if anyone wants I can sell them some.

My calipers were bought used on ebay, and I stripped them down completly ,rebuilt them with new seals and dust boots.
