Default Maximum brake sizes

I've got a quick question.

I'm posting this here because of my wheels. They are 996 GT2 wheels. Car is 993 Turbo.

I ordered the Brembo GT 350 mm kit. Are these able to fit with the factory 996 GT2 wheels? Thanks in advance guys.

350 no problem

if u want 380mm can only fit certain rims, like fin speed etc.

stock rims wont fit.

350mm with 6 piston is stock GT2 brake size, so good likeliness the brakes your after will fit a well
If you're looking for another set of GT2 wheels, I have a set for sale....

For example, the Giro 350mm rotors fit easily within the 18" stock turbo twist wheels

I believe the Stoptech 355mm calipers/rotors are the largest that will fit 18" (stock rims)

IIRC, 993GT2 EVO models ran 380mm fronts under 18" BBS E28's... it's all wheel dependant
