friend posed the question, and i couldnt answer....
i believe i read boxsters fit... but not sure.
Full Version: do boxster and 944 turbo calipers
I tried to fit steelies over the boxster monoblocks and they rubbed.
boxster calipers will fit in a 15" fuchs
not 100% sure bout the 951 calipers though
not 100% sure bout the 951 calipers though
951's need 16's - at least up front.
Been meaning to try my 15-inch "deep sixes" over the front brakes on our Boxster. I hear the 15x6s and 15x7s will fit, but I'd like to see for myself -- and I'd suspect the backside of the "deep six" will interfere.
Anybody tried this? And, is it really worth it? Are the calipers lighter, is the 11.73-inch front rotor worth it with up to a ?-liter motor?

Pete,
for the 914/911 conversion, the rotor remains @ 11" diameter, you do however get the benifit of a lighter caliper and more pad area

yep, the stock /4 stuff is 11"...for the 911's, I think all the way up to '89 the front rotors are 11.10" diameter for the front (rear 911 rotors are 11.41" )
for the Boxster or the 951 calipers, you need to use the Carrera 3.2 rotors
which are 282.5x24mm

282.5mm = 11.12", the caliper does not have to be further away from the spindle axis for rotor clearance
930 turbo calipers fit under 15" rims.....
awesome....
and i guessthe adapter could have some offset in it, to put it closer to the center...

I think but I can't remember for sure but I think that you will have to use SC rotors with the boxster monoblocks or the pads won't fit with the calipers.

....... you will have to use SC rotors with the boxster monoblocks or the pads wont for with the calipers.
clarify please?
You would think I would know how to spell.
I meant to write won't fit. I initially purchased the carrera rotors for my conversion and I couldn't get the pads to fit over the rotors. After searching a bit and getting some feedback it seems the carrera rotors are about 2-4mm too thick.
I think this is the difference between the SC and the carerra rotors
I will find out for sure in a minute.

John Jentz had the answer, now I am not sure if I only used the SC on the rears or all the way around.

Definitely SC rotors all the way around
