The OE iron discs are 408mm/380mm (F/R). No spacers are required for this particular kit from Girodisc, as you are only talking ~1mm difference on the radius.
To note, the stock iron discs have a taller annulus or "sweep" and use the 991/992 PCCB pad shape, which is 4927 in Pagid land (nothing available in the PCCB pad shape from Ferodo "yet"). The Girodisc 410mm conversion features a shorter rotor annulus to save weight and can use either the Pagid 4924 shape or the Ferodo FCP4664 shape (including DS3.12, DS1.11, etc..). The 380mm rears are the same size in both iron applications and use Pagid pad shape 4925 or Ferodo FCP4665. I can source everything for anyone interested and have a great Labor Day sale coming up for subscribers. Rennlist users get 10% off as well.
I guess I was talking about upgrades for the base model brakes. They are 350mm front only, correct?

Yea for the 992 Carrera Base they offer the 350mm front/rear kit that would come with spacers. Pads are: Front
Ferodo - FCP4805
Pagid - 8074 Rear
Ferodo - FCP4713
Pagid - 4909

and going to 410mm with base brakes is not an option?

That is correct, unfortunately. To be honest at stock power levels running 410mm front rotors would be unnecessary and would only add extra weight. At max, a 380mm disc would be the largest you would ever want/need to go - unless of course, this is mainly for aesthetic purposes. What is your main usage for the car?
Essex/AP offers the Radi-Cal 372mm front and a 365mm rear as part of their competition brake kits, but I have a feeling that isn't really needed in your case.

You are correct, even the standard brakes are doing what I need for my purpose. All aesthetics to fill out the wheel better ...and will do it when the time comes that I need to replace them anyway. I have seen the Girodisk upgrade on a friends 991.2 who has the same standard calipers and it looks clean. I think he had the 380mm with spacers for the calipers but not 100% sure.
Thata good to know. Did they also come with the spacers for the calipers like the 350mm package? I guess you bought the Ferodo separately? Nice option once our OEM once are worn down.
Doesn't need spacers. Ferodo currently doesn't have a pad solution for stock GTS rotor.
Edit.....Sorry I answered before I read subsequent threads. I see you have base. I can only confirm fitment on GTS.

Reason: add info
Zunsport grille. Installation was dead easy, took me some 20 minutes and that's only because I measured way too many times before drilling for the center screw and because I did not have a short screwdriver so it made the job a tad slow. Otherwise perfect fit, great quality.

Finally bought a foam cannon to try it out. Worked well. "Practiced" on my wife's A6.I know I should have waited until the car was in the shade, but I was anxious to try it out and had other stuff to do that day. Components all fit in the drawer of this HF work cart. Pretty impressed. Once I got set up, took less than 20" to wash and dry her car with CR Spotless and electric blower/microfiber towels.
Cheapest one I could find, just to try it out. Worked great - I can't imagine the far more expensive ones with a different label are much better, but I could be wrong. Even if it breaks, for $20 I've already washed both cars.
