personally, dont go over 285mm, biggest so far ive seen are 300mm but thats with butchered calipers which i strongly recommend you dont do. Rememeber good airflow around the disc is also required!!

see craig100 mate, i think he has the biggest brakes i've seen under a 15" wheel, there was literally about 5mm of space between the caliper and wheel

Ive got a 172 sized disk and wilwood caliper to fit to mine. But its the weight that you have to consider.

172 disks weigh twice what a williams / 16v disk does.

Mine are exactly the same as Craigs, 300mm billet centered rotors and willwood superlight calipers. Ds2500 pads and f*ck me does it stop well.. will lock up on heavy breakin from 90mph+

probably bigger than i need but i love them :twisted:

300mm you need superlight or hi-spec calipers BUT i have 1-2mm clearance on williams wheels and had to take 2mm of my caliper to fit my turbines... :wink:

My Hi-Spec Monster 4 Pots with 300mm discs didnt require any modifications to the calipers but have only got a 2mm clearance lol

The Hi-Spec setup I have is £900+ new from POTN
