Eddie what wheels are you using? What size spacers are needed for clearance? Have you tried 17" wheels?

This is the set up that i am trying to sort atm. Clearly i have "wrong" discs tho as only 13mm wheel bolt holes...won't fit, seems 15 required?
To be fair, not all of kit from Creations MS tho.
Perhaps these discs need machining? Hard to tell atm, until can offer up, secure, and measure properly.
Hub bore on new discs is approx 2mm oversize.
By any chance could you give disc p numbrs, hat offsets or similar before i open out bolt holes?
Have been trying to view jimk04 brake build thread, but that too without success so far. What a numpty
Thanks.

W204, post 2011 SLK, CLK etc use M14. W203 use M12 wheel bolts. The 330mm discs are probably for a SLK350.

Any one know the weight difference between a 986 and 996 front caliper ?

Any one know if DaveB makes the brackets for the 996 calipers (no turbo)?
I know Creation Motorsports sell them, but I would prefer them from DB.
