Confused about front rotor size 350mm or 360mm or 390mm

IDK enough about the front "knuckle" to know if it's the same across all model/trim levels of 958 Cayenne but I can say with confidence that the caliper bolts (that hold the caliper to the "knuckle") are not the same across all models/trim levels.
I know this because when I did the front brakes on my 2014 CTTS (390mm front rotors; steel (not PCCB)), I noticed that most parts sites listed two types of caliper bolts, which I've come to refer to as "short" and "long."

I found out the hard way that my 2014 base came with 360mm rotors.
I ordered 350mm rotors with 350mm pads but the pads sit higher than the rotors.
Either the caliper or the control arm is different because both 350mm rotors and pads should've worked.

when I spoke with several dealers they said that you have to get rotor size by the Vin and that all online parts stores (including which are run by dealers) use generic databases and are very often wrong. My base 2013 also had 360mm fronts.

My indy wanted to physically measure the rotors on my 14 CD Platinum before he ordered them. FYI they are 360mm. He also said they were heavier than any of the ones they see on Touaregs & Q7s.

Bump
Sorry to bump an old thread, but hopefully adding helpful information here. I too was confused. Or rather, just a little frustrated when searching for brake rotor options for my '11 Turbo. It's like, you're better off having a Base, S, or Diesel or basically any model except the Turbo if you're trying to buy new brakes, at least for the front. And/or, better off having the PCCB option, if you're that fancy. Otherwise, good luck trying to track down a set of decent, not overly expensive brake rotor OE options, let alone anything aftermarket and "cool" i.e. drilled/slotted options. I guess that's what you get for having 390mm front rotors, which are bigger than many other vehicles wheels! Let alone their rotor size.
