No worry, just thought if you can snap pics easily..

I do have PCCB so it is setup to do 350/350 from the factory. Would be interesting to do 380/380.. !

Thanks again for your help.

Hmm, so I could run the gen 2 380mm pccb up front- tempting!

I wonder if they have the same offset or not..

I am not sure if val122 uses the gen 2 PCCB.. I think he runs 380mm steel... ?!

Now I am a bit curious. My tech just told me that there is an issue with the offset with running brembo 380mm rotors with stock calipers. Are you using stock calipers? How did you handle the offset?

I got my hands on a set of Performance Friction 380mm rotors and pads. They came of a 997 GT2.
I am running 15mm spacers per side already. Would this fit in my stock wheels, and do i need an adapter to push my caliper outwards a bit ?
(guess 380mm -/- 350mm = 30mm :2 = 15mm adapter)
And if so, anybody an idea where to get a set of these adapters ?

There is no part number unfortunately. Diameter: 380mm. Thickness disc: 34mm
Depth of hub: 65mm

Yes Direct Drive (looking art their website) but will it fit ?
No problem trying it out once my current rotors are cracked again, but if i would need an adapter to push my caliper outward a bit, it needs a bit more research where to get that adapter. And if it does not fit with the OEM 18 wheels with 15mm spacers i give up and buy the 350mm replacement discs for the hub next time.

There are adapters available from FVD that should work, but any engineering shop could make some up.

Might be worth doing a fitment check on the wheel first with some cheap washers as spacers and the oem calipers and slightly longer bolts - if it fits on your wheels, then you should be good to go.

Definitely test before you do anything as I can almost 100% guarantee you that your stock wheels will not fit. There are only a handful of 18s out there that clear 380s - CCW, Fikse, Cargraphic, BBS Motorsport. I went through the whole ordeal when I put them on my 996TT.
