Porsche gt3 Brake Callipers, 334mm Discs, if that helps

I would say you need spacers or 18s

 

[sweeney23]

so 17s would fit tho

i found i needed 10mm spacers with 18's, but that is rstt's. but with the 334's i could have thought they would fit hieght wise and 10mm spacers to be safe.

Unfortunately its not easy to say without trying the wheels or having all the dimensions, it depends on exactly who made the brake kit your using and what offset the brackets and bells are, the caliper and disc size isnt enough info. What 18" wheels are you running? Its not neccesarily the diameter of the wheel thats important but more often the the offset and design of wheel spoke. For example standard 17" avus S3 wheels fit over the brembo junior kits but you need spacers to run the 18" RSTT's. From your post above do you already have the 17" S3 wheels? if so just try a wheel on and see if it clears.

Sweeney23- I am running the AMD Porsche calipers, fitted in 2002 and are from a 993 Turbo. I was running standard Avus 17" alloys with no spacers with no issues although the clearance on the calliper was marginal, only 2mm. When I fitted larger 19" alloys I needed 10mm spacers to avoid rubbing the inner arch on full lock. You should be able to fit standard 17" without any issues but it will be tight. Hope that helps?

Try it and see?
