997 Carrera S running bigger sized discs?
Does anyone know if I can run larger discs with OEM calipers? If so whats the max disc size I can run on the Carrera S brakes?

Yes you can. I am running Girodisc 340mm. I believe that's the largest you can run on stock Carrera S calipers, per my Porsche mechanic.

Look up Girodisc. I forgot what the thickness was.

Also, my apologies, my Girodisc is 350mm, not 340mm.

I believe 340mm due to caliper size, but don't quote me on it.
