Hey guys, Im sure this is a rerun but...

Im doing a brake upgrade but using rather unconventional components.

I will use early Porsche 944 turbo calipers and either Sport Quattro rotors 
(until I find out the price).  I can also go with A8 rotors but I will need to 
use adapters for the calipers, if I use sport rotors its basically a bolt-on 
upgrade.

Im not looking for terribly specific info, but just hoping to find out which 
wheels are more generous for this type of upgrade. I have BBS RF's in a 16x8 
but I hear these dont have much clearance for larger brakes.  I dont mind going 
to a different 16/17 inch rim, but if possible I may try spacing out my 
fuchs.  The rally cars has pretty hefty spacers behind the fuchs, Im not sure if 
thats feasable for a street driven car.

I was considering the TT caliper / A8 rotor setup, but I really want a 4-pot 
caliper.  I understand the 944T caliper is not quite a current monobloc but I 
had a 944T and the brakes were the best I have owned.

Thanks guys
Sean
