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

I was all set to buy Skeeters BBK awhile back, but they wouldn't fit.
