I'm sure there are members local to you who would oblige

Thanks for the replies chaps. I'll have a think and might well try to find someone in the SE who can volunteer to let me try their BBK for size with my wheels. I have 15mm spacers all round which should help things.

Any pics of the wheels in question?

Always welcome to pop over J4 M25

This is the OEM style 224 wheel that is stock on the Z4M (not my car, just a useful link)

They are 8x18" ET 42 front and 9x18" ET 30 rear. I run these on the track and CSL wheels on the road.

I've measured the internal diameter of the wheels - they measure 405mm at the mating face and 445mm at the inner rim. The distance between these two points is 160mm.

Lawsy, with the Alcon kit, what is the distance from the centre of the disc to the largest part of the calliper please (I appreciate you may not have that information

)?

Thanks to both of you. I'm overseas with work at the moment but I'll be working in Kent when I'm back in a few weeks. Meanwhile, my Zed is in Buckinghamshire, so either or both would be great cheers!

I'll get the drawings and post them up

BMWZ4MC · 18-01-2014, 08:44 AM

That's great, cheers. I suspect a drive to Cheshire will be on the cards soon!
