Has anybody tried running the 370mm F30 M Sport rotors with 18" wheels? I have 19s for summer but use the stock 18" 193M in winter. This thread shows the 370mm rotors fitting within 18x8.5" +35 Apex PS-7 but that doesn't really help figure out if they'll fit the 193M. Does the use of the 370mm F30 M Sport rotor affect the caliper mounting in any way?

193m doesn't clear because of the barrel. Just by a hair.
If you shave off 1-2 mm off the top of the caliper, then it would fit.

ECS came out with a radial rear mounted f30 caliper kit!

Pretty cool, BUT NOT WORTH $2300!

There was no details on the specific ECS kit, ECS sells many many kits. Or even photos!

PHOTOS OR IT NEVER HAPPENED!

Hmm, well I don't want to have to get a new set of winter wheels, and shaving the calipers doesn't appeal to me. I'm not in a huge rush to find some upgrade to the brakes above and beyond good pads and fluid anyway but curious about my options. I'm not so hard on the brakes that I need to upgrade the calipers but it's tempting.

If anyone is looking for a set of front M sport calipers in blue, brand new, let me know I Bought a set to try and retro fit to my M3 but haven't been able to come up with a mounting bracket. At least without dropping big money to have some one else engineer & mill it. Just trying to get some of my money back out of them.

Why did you buy them? I have shared info long time ago that this fit only non M models. Additionally, do you have the 340 or 370/380 front calipers?

A buddy of mine is a machinist. We were hoping we could make a bracket and have them bolt up to the factory knuckle and still be able to run 18s. Unfurtufitly the ears in the knuckle are to close to the same spacing as the ears on the caliper without matching up.

Also I have the 370 front calipers.

I think I saw your ebay post, good deal if so but couldn't hop on it because I don't want to find the rears separate.

You need something like this:
http://creationsmotorsport.com/index...r-upgrade.html
Style 219 clears the 370/380 front brakes.
Do you have a fore sale ad? With photos and price?

yamaha458 · 04-11-2017, 11:03 AM

If they were listed for $700.00 than they were mine Haha. http://www.ebay.com/itm/262932207038...84.m1558.l2649

Guessing some work is require on the calliper to provide clearance?

Thanks!

Al3029 · 06-06-2017, 10:14 AM

just a heads up, installed F30 Brembos on my E93 which has 230 style wheels and the calipers had to be shaved a tad to clear wheels.

Why? It was not much shaving, had to get home.

I wound putting spacers all around to have the wheels flushed with fenders. Wish I had the spacers with me.
