Default Bmw rotors

Anyone ever played with bmw rotors in the 14" diameter area?
Working on a brake system using 6 piston brembo calipers and z06 rotors, just not enough offset in c6z Rotor to pull the caliper away from the wheel to clear the chunky brembos. Just wondering if anyone used anything other than baer, Wilwood or c6z rotors

Anything can be made to work with enuf milling and offset brackets

I know the Porsche Cayenne/VW Toureg Brembo calipers are common swap onto Audi cars. I was going to put a set on my B5 Audi Avant at one point....
These are calipers for a 14" rotor for $325/pair. I'm guessing you have the same ones.

Maybe just get some custom offset for the hats on a 2 piece rotor?

Coleman Racing does offer custom rotors.... maybe contact them?

Already have wheels, the calipers are monsterous in my case. C6z and wilwoods clear no problem, but already have these 6 piston brembos which are physically chunkier then most commonly used calipers and will atempt to work with them.
