R56 wilwood bbk wheel fit?
wilwood bbk wheel fit?
Ok so i ordered a wilwood bbk 6pot front and 1pot rear . i also ordered a set of motegi mr116 18" wheels +45mm offset. Does anyone know if ill have a problem with clearence with these wheels?
All that will clear the diameter of the Wilwood kits without issue. I trust you did look at the PDF regarding wheel spoke clearance however. The issue is not diameter but rather the distance from the caliper body to the back side of the spoke.
The fronts are quite friendly. The rears are actually a tad wider due to the sliding caliper. Neither are excessive but it's always worth checking this data before finding out the hard way. You can access this info on the HELP ME INSTALL IT tab on my R56 page.

@toddtce Todd (or anyone else), do you know if the Wilwood BBK 12.2 (4 piston) and 12.88 (6 piston) would clear the Motegi MR116 in the 17" wheel? This would be for an R53.
For Rears, all I see is this:
Billet aluminum rotor hats
11.75 x .375" solid rotors
Is the parking brake within the rear calipers = by replacing the rears, am I also replacing the parking brake - or is that separate?

The 13/11.75" kits should fit the 17" wheel, HOWEVER you may wan to check the required spoke clearance as it's not the diameter that is an issue.
The required wheel fit clearance can be found here:

If you want the short answer: I highly doubt you'll have an issue as the front is THE most wheel friendly and the rear is also quite wheel friendly. And yes the caliper is dual action like you have now.

Remember you have the option based on model to use the old cables or we can supply new cables with the kits. R56 is found on the 2007+ page and comes with them by default.
Hope that helps...
