Re: finally arrived!!
25mm spacer may still be able to clear but just imaging the length of the bolt !!!!
Standard rims offset is 47 for E46 and Z4. Before i change to my current rims, i got RK at 35 offset and 10mm spacer and it still turns without rubbing, which makes the offset effectively at 25mm !!!! the problem is that the car feels funny when u r driving it and the steering is very dead.
So in the end, LL still change rim to fit BBK !

Re: finally arrived!!
wee!! thanks guys.
no lah, i won't get 25mm spacers. freaking ridiculous. waiting for TripleM to sell off his prodrives.....muahaha. also looking around for light, CHEAP 17" rims that can clear these. kosei quite cheap right?
in the meantime, not all good news though, there're actually some problems with the finishing on my calipers so i'm asking the seller if he will reimburse me for getting these powdercoated locally. these are minor aesthetic issues, but if you know me, you know that i am A_N_A_L about these things.
i'm "semi-sponsored" as some of you know so i shan't go into too much detail until the seller contacts me. he hasn't let me down so far, so fingers crossed.

Jaskin,

Piggyboyz,

Re: finally arrived!!
Louis,
I think in order for 17" to clear, u need quite big offset of the rims. 18" will be better and since they flex lesser, it should be a better buy...
If u can, get ur hand on the CSL replics. They r pretty light and cheap too..... Then dump 255 rears !!!! muahahahaha......

Re: finally arrived!!
thread revival!!
as you know, i wasn't happy with the finishing on my previous calipers but LL suck thumb; since i paid and they had arrived, i decided to fit them on anyway.
fortunately or unfortunately, i received an email from UUC 2 days before my appointment with Juzz to fit my brakes: mike from UUC informed me that they had mistakenly sent me 2 RIGHT SIDED calipers. WTF!!
so after some moaning and bitching, Rob offered to send me a whole new set of calipers, with the new UUC logo instead of the old Wilwood logos. all this is FOC. he will also pay for the current set i have to be shipped back to the UUC.
calipers are being express freighted to me right now and these are some pics he took before sending them off.
seetoh, if you're reading this, sorry about cancelling my appointments again and again hor. next week confirm. will call to arrange.
