I have an 18" wheel set up currently (VMR VB3's) that will become my dedicated winters as soon as my 20" DPE's are made (Thanks Michael aka Acute Performance).

Running the 20"s won't be the issue, but when I switch back to the 18"s for winter, now that's the problem.
There isn't a lot of room with my OEM calipers up front right now, not sure how much bigger a BBK is.

Wondering if anyone with a BBK is running on 18's for winter?

Maybe I'll just paint the OEMs?

It comes down to the Caliper size. I have the same rims you got and the templates from most BBK companies do fit but its the inner barrel clearances that will make or brake you...DOH

Sorry my ignorance is showing, but are you saying I can get a BBK? Or no my inner barrel clearance(?) is not good?

Um you'll have to download their specs and measure, measure measure...Whos kit you looking at?

I have M5 brakes up front and my factory 18" 123's (winter setup) cleared my calipers by a hairline...

Still shopping. Really would like to luck into a used set, although with the 18" wheel it makes it tough.
I was all set to buy Skeeters BBK awhile back, but they wouldn't fit.

Thats a good idea. I'll have to look it up, is that just a straight swap out? Wonder how much bigger the M5 brakes are over the 545?
