They will fit 16" but wheels of this size, that will clear the calipers, are very hard to find.
You have more selection with 17".

The M3 brakes will fit your car and work well.

I plan to upgrade my braking system with M3 brakes too. :)

I heard they require 16"?
BTW, my question was whether it will work, not the cost ;) -- i assume it will?

And also, If i buy used calipers (i'll get aftermarket rotors, not worried about cost--OEM type) will they just bolt up? and are you SURE i need 17"? :( I was gonna get 16's :(

Thanks

The M3 rotors and calipers will require 17" wheels. This is BIG $$$ though. I think the dealer quoted me CAN$1200 for the fronts only.

Hi, I went to montreal yesterday, to get the m3 leather interior for my car, and the guy I got it from, is a VP of some BMW autocross club in that area... and after racing him, I've desided i'm pretty interested in autocross... his car handled PERFECTLY.. while mine was sluggish and leaned, and couldn't brake as well... anyway..

I was gonna buy some performance cross drilled/slotted rotors for my car, but desided to go a step further... I though, what if i get m3 rotors? and some used m3 calipers?

So basically, the question is this, will the m3 calipers directly bolt onto the 325is ('92)? with the m3 brackets, etc... and if not, what can I do to do that? (besides buy brembo brakes, which i cannot afford :)

Tahnks for any info...
