Default Measurements on Big Red/Black calipers

Hi

Was planning to upgrade my front brakes to GT3mk1 discs and calipers but since those discs have an offset of 35mm compared to the original TurboS 45mm and the spokes on my OZ Futura rims already are quite close, 3-4mm, to the original calipers it won't work

So instead I'm thinking of fitting Big Red/Black calipers with 928GTS/964 3.6T discs but I need to know the width of these calipers compared to the original TurboS calipers.

Does anybody have thee measurements shown in the attached picture?

Thanks
Dea

I toughed this was clarified on the Swedish forum....

Just use "big" Black/Red calipers with 928GTS disk. It's a direct fit with OZ futuras. I have seen similar combo here and it was a direct fit.

Almost clarified.... the discs and everything on the GT3 brakes are clear but no one has been able to verify that the Big Reds/Blacks calipers aren't wider than the TurboS brakes.

Normally it should be no problem but my OZ Futuras are built with wide outer rims which makes clearance critical, don't wanna buy the calipers if I can't use them.
