[s-cars] How Much Caliper Clearance?

[LL - NY]

Not that it makes my day, but the clearance between my 993TT Big Blacks on
similar sized 993TT rotors is about the thickness of a credit card on my
UrS6
Avus winter wheels. I have to conscienciously clear the wheels after every
run
to feel that the calipers will be safe from debris.
