Was looking at these wheels, and I noticed that the bore size was different.... would these clear the fat brakes on a 16 hardtop JCW? Maybe with centering rings? Maybe point me to a thread that has some other known Koenig wheels that can clear the brakes?

 

It's a pretty heavy wheel compared to some of the other options. The NM RSE05 only weights 17 pounds, which makes a noticeable difference in responsiveness. They are a bit more expensive, but not outrageous for a high quality wheel.

 

so.... is that a yes to the fit?

As the F56 bore size is smaller you can but a spigot ring to reduce from the 73.1 to 66.6

You can probably make them fit, but you'd probably be better off with something that's specced for the car. Probably the biggest issue is whether the barrels will clear the brakes ... a lot do not. That's hard to tell without actually trring them.

 

Does TireRack sell these wheels? They will guarantee fitment if you shop by vehicle/trim.

 

thank you!

 

thats a good point as well!

 

I couldn't find them on tirerack, and discount tire direct doesn't seem to be able to add the JCW brakes as an option. They are cheap enough to buy one to try out.

 

I doubt these will fit. The only two 17x7.5 wheels currently guaranteed to clear the Brembos are Neuspeed RS +40 and Advan TC-4 +43. - And the latter only makes it because its spokes are extremely curved on the inside, which is something that raises the price significantly.
These wheels have pretty flat looking spokes and are +45. So .....
