Default What size brakes will fit under 17" compomotives?

Just got some nice 17" compomotive mo's the older five spoke design, and I'm after getting some bigger brakes now.

Does anybody know what size I can fit under these wheels?

Thanks for any help!

You can put 330mm discs under there, the issue is what calipers will fit, doubtful its going to be the brembo but the likes of AP should

the MO's generally have a much larger clearance than std road type wheels, while since i tried but fairly sure a set of Brembo STi brakes clear fine
as above any 330mm AP kit will clear, we had one of the competition cars running with around 340mm disc from memory on a custom kit under 17" MO's

Thanks guys, 330 it is then!

Just had a look at the AP kit 2k!!

Has anybody tried the Godspeed 335mmbig disc kit that uses larger pads and STD 4 pots, seems reasonably priced?

Also looked to see if HiSpec do any and was surprised to see Subaru not even listed!?

no, although we did start with a 343 rotor - it was a custom kit we made using a customers one-off pair of calipers, which limited the clearance available...........may have been 338 or something silly as they were machined to the max.
