Which wheels clear the Brembo B-M4 BBK
 

Similar to my earlier thread which was a huge success, I'm starting a new thread to figure out which wheels clear the Brembo B-M4 BBK which is a somewhat common recommendation. Here's my review of that kit.

Please contribute with photos and wheel specs of cars you know run this kit!

Also attached is a template you can use to check your own wheels.

In alphabetical order:

Apex Wheels
ARC-8 17x9.0 +42 FIT
SM-10RS 17x8.0 +40 require a 5+ mm spacer (claimed by Apex, evidence needed)
VS-5RS 17x8.0 +40 FIT (claimed by Apex, evidence needed)
VS-5RS 17x8.5 +44 FIT (claimed by Apex, evidence needed)
VS-5RS 17x9.0 +48 FIT (spacer was used for non-BBK reasons)

Enkei
RPF1 17x8.0 +35 DO NOT FIT
RPF1 17x9.0 +35 DON'T EVEN ASK :D

KE Motorsport PRO
T12 17x10.0 +45 fit with 15 mm spacers, might fit with thinner spacers.

Titan 7
T-S5 17x9.0 +37 FIT
T-S5 17x9.0 +47 require a spacer (10 mm seems to work)

It looks like Enkei RPF1 17x8.0 +35 won't fit without a massive spacer.

I can add the following fitment details.


I'll note that the space from the caliper to the barrel on many 17 inch wheels is very tight, such that I don't recommend placing balancing weights here because they're liable to get torn off if even a small pebble gets caught.


Konig Hypergram 17x9 +40 - fits, no spacer needed.

Phatfux Ballzy 17x8 +35 - spoke interference, 3mm spacer required.

Unknown 6 spoke 17x6 +48 - spoke interference, 5mm spacer required.

OEM space saver spare - complete wheel interference, 55mm spacer required.

Both the 6UL 17x9 +48 and the Apex 17x9 SM10RS +48 fit with the Brembo BM-4 calipers. The 6UL fits without a spacer. I never tried the Apex w/o a spacer.

Can anyone send me copy of the template?

It’s attached as a PDF to the first post

Thank you. I am blind 🤣, I looked at all links but not the actual attachment. I sent it to konig to check if 17x8 ultragrams fit.

Heard back from konig, ultragrams 17x8 and Heliograms 17x8.5 both fit

I can add to this list, DAI ALLOYS APEX 17x7.5 +42 do not clear, have spoke interference, requires at least a 3mm spacer, but that is a very tight fit, recommend 5mm.

I've been shopping around for a cheaper street wheel setup that might fit and asked Fast Wheels if they could confirm if anything they make might work with this kit. They confirmed the only wheel they produce that comes close is the FC04 17x8 +35 and it still requires a 1mm spacer, and they recommend 3mm.

They warn that at standard alignment, the setup with the 3mm spacer is going to poke 7mm.

That said, I've run a set of 17x8 +35s with a 3mm spacer before, and can confirm the setup is still slightly sucked in when lowered ~1.5 inches running at least -2.7f/-1.9r camber.
