My wheel choice is e38 style 5 (16x8 et23).  -e46 325 front brake rotors are 300 x 22mm -e46 330 front brake rotors are 325 x 25mm (as Mitch noted^) and there's a really good chance my wheels won't clear these.  -e36 m3 front brake rotors are 315 x 28mm (as Mitch noted ^), I don't think these would fit either ( might be close).  After much thought all day with the help from @KaiserRolls & @m42b32 I think I will end up going with the IRP 5 lug conversion kit and run the e46 325 calipers/rotors. These will be a decent upgrade from the e30 260 x 22mm rotor and in fact, the e46 325 setup will be 1/10th of the price of a massive BBK which is also only 300 x 22mm! In closing, I'm going to mark this thread as closed and thank you all for the information. Appreciate it... -Nick

Looking for a clean hood. Thanks

PM's on the brake pedal!

Once I get it in for an alignment this spring I can certainly come back and post a number for you if you would like.  Ah gotcha, for some reason I thought you were running coils/camber plates. Thanks! Good to know you can fit a decent tire without leaning them way in
