Nice work man! I’m doing the exact same thing to my k24 swapped e30 and was trying to figure out how to fit the rear Porsche calipers. This is the best solution. Thanks for the idea!
Thanks! I’m running 17’s. 15’s definitely won’t fit but I’m not sure about 16’s. If you want to fit smaller wheels I would look at either stock e36 m3 calipers or rx7 calipers.
Never seen this option before that’s pretty sick. For the front you could also slightly shave down the points on the caliper that contact the inside face of the rim. I did this to fit E38 style 5s. How is the brake bias, I’m assuming fine since you used front and rear calipers from the same car? Are you still using original master cylinder and booster?
Thanks! To fit flush on an e30 without a spacer you would ideally want 17x8 +20 in the front and 17x9 +26 in the rear. Depending on what wheel you want to go with, you’ll have to figure out if it has enough clearance for the brakes or else you’ll have to run a spacer and higher offset to clear the brakes and still fit flush.
@@LilSwavie it just depends on the backspacing of the wheel. If it doesn’t have any space for brakes you’ll have to run a spacer no matter what offset you have.
17 inch wheels are needed to clear the brakes but I don’t believe it will work on a ti because the caliper and rotor setup is different from a regular e36.
@@JordivanR it is common for people to use the ti trailing arms for the swap but I used the stock e30 trailing arms and swapped out the hubs for z4 hubs. I made a video about the swap as well

Thanks I appreciate it!!
Very nice job , question what wheel rim size will not fit now because i like the oem 15's snowflake style

Thank you for replying, I love those style 32's but right now I wanna use 15' not sure the style # bbs's snowflake I believe is what I was tolled .

The brake bias is fine but I’m also running a wilwood proportioning valve so I can adjust it. The master cylinder and booster are from an e90.
Dope work bro. Plan on doing this to my e30 now, what wheel offset do you recommend to get flush fitment but clear the caliper with no spacers?

@@ulisessanchez7379 gotcha. Do you think i should be good with an offset of +30 in the front and the rear?

Mate is is same for E38 front Brembos as well?
What size spacer did you have to use to get it to clear your wheels?
20mm in the front and 15mm in the back. The front pokes out a bit so I’ve been looking for a higher offset pair of style 32 for the front
I just bought 15mm for the front, hoping my style 42s clear. Thanks for your help. I watched your video like 100 times to make sure I got it right
@@NextProjects appreciate you checking out the videos!
Does this work on an e36 318ti compact too? Because I'm looking to do the exact same thing :) What size rims are needed btw to clear the calipers?
17 inch wheels are needed to clear the brakes but I don’t believe it will work on a ti because the caliper and rotor setup is different from a regular e36.
@ulisessanchez7379 Yes, but isn't the rear axle interchangeable with the e30? I thought that you got your 5 lug nut swap from a ti

Are the front and rear calipers the same? And if so is there any brake balance issue like overbraking in the rear?
No they’re slightly smaller in the back. I have a willwood proportioning valve so I can adjust brake bias and so far I haven’t had any issues
Very Nice
Thanks! Appreciate it
Is that with original brake disc?
No I used e46 m3 rotors
Where did you get your rotors from
I bought them from ECS Tuning. They’re off of an e46 m3.
