[s-cars] BBK parts accumulating

[Taka Mizutani]

Are you sure you can use 996 front calipers on a 16" Avus wheel? When I had
996 calipers over 320x30mm rotors, I did not have enough radial clearance to
fit over 16" wheels- I tried 3 or 4 different ones, there was no way I was
putting 16" wheels on the car. Maybe with smaller 314mm rotors.
