G60's and wheel size

[Bob Rossato]

Just to clarify this a bit, you guys are each talking about two totally
different brakes but the end result is that yes, 14" wheels won't fit.

Randy is asking about the G60 Girling dual piston calipers used on the Audi
S2, '90-'91 Coupe, and the North American market '92-'95 S4/S6.  These cars
used 276mm rotors.  The Corrado G60 - which refers to the supercharger, not
the brakes - as well as the Corrado VR6 used a single piston caliper on
280mm rotors.  Same nomenclature but one's a supercharger and the other is a
caliper.
