kosei k1 m235i?

I’m installing a set of m235i front calipers (340mm) on my car soon and wonder if I can keep running the 17x8.5 kosei k1s I already own. Has anyone test fit these wheels?

I’ve searched and can’t find a clear answer via forums or tire rack. I see some 17s clear the brakes, and others don’t. Usually the issue is the spokes not the drum. The koseis are et40 so more room than stock but who knows.

Thanks in advance

Confirmed that they do fit if you’re looking. I have these on an e82 but I think offsets are similar for F22.

Happy New Year!!!
Am running the same Kosei K1 17x8.5 +40 as my track wheels with 245/40-17 but needed a 5mm spacers in the front.
May I ask which(length)lug bolts did you go with?

I’m running apex extended studs but I can’t remember the length. They’re the size recommended for a 15mm spacer per their 255 track fitment guide because I have a set of their 17x9s et52 arc-8 wheels for my track wheels.
