Does anyone know the biggest brake setup that will fit inside 16"fuches
(6s and 7s) with out spacer?? Or slight spacing.
I know 944 N/As will work with boxter monos. But can I get 996 calipers and discs inside them?

Also my bug is a short axle `64. How is the fitment of the 7inch fuchs in the rear. Will I need spacer. At first I will be running 944N/As all round, but if I could fit turbo discs, I would like to go that route eventually. Uwe for MBT in Germany thinks the 996 set won`t work in fuchs. Would need to go to Boxter 16s at least.

Any info would be much appreciated. I have yet to get all my parts together to mock things up!

cheers

the biggest stock porshe disc would be the 964 298mm on the front

on the rear if you use 944 hubs and discs -71mm offset ones
-the spoke will hit the caliper, you need at least 7mm
-so 10mm spacer on the rear i think

note on the front, 175 45 16 bridge stone potenza's are available
-if you can get them!!

ps i reckon you'd get a 310mm disc in, but then the boxster 2.5/7 calipers would be too small

-the 3.2 boxster '2' would work on a 310mm - 28mm thick disc
ALTHOUGH they run on a 318mm

Can the 16x6 911 fronts be used over the 944 calipers if a spacer is used to move the wheel away from the caliper a bit or is the diameter too great to fit inside the wheel?

From what I can see on some Porsche website , maybe I can fit a 930 setup in stock 16" 911 fuchs, (304mm by 32mm front,and something like a 310mm by 28mm rear(stock 930 rear) Not to sure on the calipers as of yet. I`d like to use 996 calipers if possible.

Yes I can get those tires ! I live in Japan! I can get any low pro tire. Bridgestone ,Yokos, Pirelli they are all made for the Japanese market.

Thanks for the info. If you have any pics I`d love to see them.

Cheers

with a 20mm sapcer it might

-i have definately fitted a 16 inch front fuch on a 944 rear, -i think the stock calipers are fine, with the 20mm spacer removed -bay front studs fitted
, but i then fitted 90-91 2 pot 964 rearr calipers, and i needed a spacer of 7mm - i cut the stock 944 spacer down - remember to cut the spigot in the rear
