Is it possible to run 16's with M3 brakes? I've heard of some people doing it at the track but they said the wheels had to be setup a certain way. Does anyone have any info on this? If it's true or not? Thanks for the help guys.

From what I understand...you'll need a 17" wheel to clear the calipers.

it's possible but only certain rims will clear, the only 2 I know of are the Sport Edition A7, which you should still be able to buy, and the AT Italia M3 Contour replica which are discontinued
