Car I am purchasing has them on it already, I know they will not fit over a E36 M3 caliper so hence the question.

TIA | Nope! The e46 330 has a larger rotor then m3, so it won't fit over the 16" RK's - you could do 300mm front - regular e46 front brakes - will be a upgrade from stock 286mm rotors, vented too of course. __________________ ***328ti Build thread. *** Even more important: SUPPORT 318ti.org!

Good luck. __________________ ***328ti Build thread. *** Even more important: SUPPORT 318ti.org! CLICK THE LINK ABOVE!

Good luck! __________________ ***328ti Build thread. *** Even more important: SUPPORT 318ti.org! CLICK THE LINK ABOVE!

Been awhile since I have played with a set. | | | 09-13-2017, 08:19 PM | #8 | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2011 Location: SoCal Posts: 702 | Quote: Originally Posted by E30-M3 Odd because the 16 contour replicas have an mid offset correct?
