Alright, I must not be explaining this clear enough.

Ryan, you are correct that the offset is less on the other cars.

You cannot move the rotor in, without a new hub being built.

However you are having to space the caliper AWAY from the hub. Thus leaving (from S4-350mm) alot of room between the caliper and the hub.
If one were too make an adapter which bolted straight to the factory holes with very short bolts. Then the caliper could be bolted to THIS adapter plate with the needed offset. Effectively moving the caliper into the correct plane.

If the offset spacing is 15mm that is actually BETTER as it gives you move room for the offset bolts.

Is that clear enough now?

Ding Ding Ding.

I get it. Use the 997 hats and rotors, and thier hardware for the anti-rattle, and then move the 993TT caliper to THAT offset, by using a bracket that would attach to the calipers and attach to the normal place for the caliper.

What was the comment about the 997 hub?

Naw, don't worry about the 997 hub, it was more saying machining a new hub that would give the 997 offset

Would that be easier or more difficult than making a bracket that would move the calipers into position, radially and axially, for the 997 hat/rotor?

There is always this:

Simply give them the dimensions and what you need (shape for floating rotor hardware is important) and they pop out the hats. ??
