Brake Clearance Information
In the engineering phase of wheel development we 3D scan factory brakes and review 2D aftermarket brake templates in order to optimize our barrel profiles and spoke curvatures. As a result, our wheels offer massive brake clearance so you can run the smallest possible wheel diameter.
Brake Notes: Our G30 OEM brake data is still being compiled. Customers with M550xi models, especially those with optional larger brakes should only run 19 or 20" wheel fitments. If you have an M550xi, live in the Bay Area in California, and would be willing to stop by our office with your car to help provide brake data, please complete this volunteer form.
