Well, today I mounted up the big 14.1 inch rotor / big brake kit from the 4.8iS onto my puny 18" summer wheel, WOW! there is about 1/8" clearance all around, and best of all, no spacer required!
Special thank-you to Deansbimmer in Texas, for shipping them to me! they are absolutely HUGE and amazing!!!
I think I am going to go with a BMW Royal Blue either paint or powder coating. I wasn't sure if my 18" wheels would work, but they do! (big sigh of relief!)
thanx again to deansbimmer, you sir, are awesome!
