'08 Carrera S vs '09 Carrera S brakes

Just found a winter tire package ( 18" Victor equipment wheels) that was used on an '08 911 S. Was wondering if the brake diameter was increased for '09. Don't want to buy the package and not have the wheels fit. Usually winter tires they downsize to one inch smaller daimeter wheels. Do you think the wheels will fit?

Sub4 is infamous around these parts
I believe they stayed the same. However the base Carrera's brakes went up in size and now match the S (330mm front and rear).

The wheels should work, although they are heavy.

if you search ebay or may be your local craigslist you may have a very good chance to find take-off set of stock original 18" rims - people sell them quite often for funny price. They have not so wide 10" rear wheels but for winter tires it is a plus.
