    I have AP 4 pots with 330mm discs and clearance is quite right so you will likely need to machine it down a bit

    Thanks . They are 6 pot ap racing calipers. Currently have a 360mm rotor so will look to get this machined down
    Thanks

    It depends on wheel and caliper design. 330mm possible rather freely. 345 with 4-pots are expected to be possible under many worthy wheels. There is a real chance to accomodate 350-360 under some wheels but only with floating caliper, no brembo style: there are witnesses of A8 D2 W12 360mm brakes under some 17".

    ... caliper design matters indeed. Mercedes-Benz W220 has got 330mm 4-piston brakes under OEM 16" rims.

    Also depends on caliper too... I had 345mm discs inside 17"cup reps... don't think would have fitted with Porsche calipers though...
