    The important thing for me is the 5 spoke vs the 6 spoke apparently there is a difference.

    From my reading (only reading) I interpreted the 323 disc fits under the 6 spoke Avus ABY rim when using the RS2 Carrier and 996. 425/426 Caliper. If it does not then yes I will make suitable mods.

    The next important thing is the rear brake to match the front setup.

    Thanks UrS4boy for correcting the naming of the rims.

      it's not the # of spokes, but the rim design. The Speedline will not fit over the brakes without spacers for the weels (and might fit with, ymmv), Avus most likely will fit.

        Thanks for all the support on the fronts.

        Any more comments on the rear upgrades fitting under the Avus 6 spoke rims.

              996 calipers, A8 314 discs, Bambridge 996/314 brackets, hardlines (I would use flexis if I did it again for easier future service)

                Slightly off topic however does anyone know off hand what the biggest disc size is possible under a 17" wheel?

                Thanks
