MCS with upgraded JCW Brake

Hello. I'm F55 mcs owner and planned to upgrade JCW brake kit, so I have to upgrade 17" alloy wheels also. Is 17" 7.5J ET35 (eg. Sparco Pro Corsa) is suitable for my case? Or should I find offset range ET38 to ET40? Thanks.

It's really about the spoke shape and clearance not so much the offset. As you need the spokes to come around the caliper. The only way to know is to find a JCW owner that has the wheels you want, or test fit the wheel on the brakes yourself.

When you are ready for the brakes let us know

Upgrade on rear for the GP3 I developed several tweaks among them upgrade on the the rear

It need 2 rotors drilled 280 mm ( 260mm Std.) due to the drills the rotor weights the same.
It uses the orignal caliper need new brackets and new brake pads
