Brembo GT Kit and CSL/ZCP Wheels fitment question

[maximus5403]

Just following up on this to see what setup you ended up with.

I just measured a ZCP front and it does NOT clear a 380x6, 355x6 or 355x4 Brembo kit without a spacer. Looking at option, but realistically anything 6 piston is gonna be a tough fitment.

I am still waiting on my Brembo GT kit to arrive. I saw Obsessed Garage just installed his kit but he hasn't released the video yet so I can see what spacer he used.

I am looking to purchase a Brembo GT kit front and rear for for my E46 M3 Comp. I am wanting to run these without a spacer on the factory 19" wheels. Would the 380mm kit fit? If not would the 355mm kit fit without a spacer? I have asked a few Brembo dealers but couldn't get a definitive answer.

IMO you actually want a spacer up front with the 8J ZCP wheels anyways... I have the same 380 kit and fitted them. Rear wheels up front will clear without spacer but fronts will not. I think you need a 10 or 12mm at the minimum.

Rotor diameter won't affect 19's. The caliper clearance dictates what effective offset you need to clear the spokes.

You can use the printable template to do a test:

Thank you!

Will either have the caliper template on their website or they can email it to you.
