ok it is the big fronts I am talking about as iirc they are the same as the 928 S4 brakes, however I would love to see a pic of a 15" rim on the S4 calipers as I have them on my 928S and couldnt see them fitting

I run 15 inch cookie cutters on my car which has now been fitted with 951 brakes.
To fit these I installed spacers front and rear which are 10mm thick. I tried some at 7mm and they rim just touched caliper for one rim but not the others. This rim seems to be fractional out so I installed the 10mm spacers I had made ages ago for some other rims and they work perfectly.

I just don't see how the S brakes , would fit with a 15 inch wheel the standard 951 fits like a glove on 15 inch wheels in the front and in the rear the calipers will rub unless you space the wheel out so the caliper does not get close to the wheel rim , Wow that is a lot of spacing you would have to be using the 924 steel banana's

Nope using the ali 951arms and 951 torsion bar carrier modified to suit the 931 dogleg gearbox.
Back fenders will be the boxed Le Mans GTR type so the wider the track at the back the better - means Idon't have to buy 10 or 11 inch wide wheels just yet as the 7 or 8 inch fill the fenders nicely with the spacers

Aren't the 931 brakes and the N/A 944 brakes similar? Could you use the Wilwood N/A 944 brake upgrade for this ap? You'd get to use 86 Turbo brake discs and it's a hell of a lot cheaper than that buing all that new front suspention
