    I've had 314mm's under a 16 inch avus and that was very close, I don't think the 323mm will go under (maybe with the right rim or some modding of the calliper/brackets)

      Okay. I'm afraid that they not will fit then. I will just use my 17" rims then

        323mm will fit if you use spacers. I used 15 mm but you could probably get away with 10mm spacers...

          Depends what calipers you are using.

          314 discs with 996 calipers clear 16 avus wheels, but not the 3b speedlines without spacers. You get a bigger disc under track calipers I suspect.

            Yep, the caliper is the thing that makes the problems. I was running 305mm discs with ibiza brembos(small reds?) and I found only one wheel that fitted with those calipers. The inner design of the wheel is the biggest problem. Many wheels have a lower diameter behind the spokes(or wheel face) and the caliper hits that.

            And ofcourse the et of the brake disc makes a difference too. If the disc goes way back, closer to the strut, the caliper has to be closer to the strut and that way it will clear smaller wheels.

              I have big reds with 323s and they fit behind the Avus with a 15mm spacer, I didn't try without a spacer...

                  322mm disc will fit under an avus alloy without a spacer, thats what ive got and although its very tight, its never caused me any problems in the ten years ive had them fitted

                      if you are talking about the calipers from a 928 gts then they are the same as the big reds so should fit with rs2 caliper brakets
                      never set your expectations to high that way you are never disapointed
