    I think they are supposed to be used with 330mm discs, 32 or 34mm thick.

    People have used them with 323 discs, I think you need to keep an eye on pad wear. Will at VRS used to have brackets for 429/430 on 323 discs, but they do not fit under 16s.
    Thanks Andy, not even with spacers ? Will check bolt spacings to be sure then... They come with pagid blue pads think they have have rs4.2 on em? And did measure the space between pads and it's pretty wide .. Least 34 mm I know they are not fitted ect and pistons are right back...

      You can fit 996 brakes with 323 disc under 16s with 10mm spacers, 996T brakes need 17s, I assume to the the larger caliper.

        Andy, been in to see Will at VRS and he can get brackets made , so that's a start .. He said that he did think that 323 discs would go under 16" 6 spoke but not 5 spoke 3b alloys... Which would be a bonus ...

            Haha ok ... Perhaps I should've bid on them 17s then !! Doh

            That's the sort of thread I've been after all week !! Have to say I'd be surprised if they all squeezed under the 16s ...
