Default new zo6 brakes

new zo6 front rotors are 355mm x 32mm (14" x 1.3") correct me if im wrong.
How much larger overall diameter is the entire setup with the 6 piston zo6 caliper? I have 17" fikse fm5's, and my total inner diameter is 15.500" strong. I know there are other clearences to take into account but id like to see if If its even possible to shoehorn the diameter of that combo.

Thanks for any info.

No way they will fit in a 17" wheel.

If yor're going to do C6 calipers and rotors you have to have 18" wheels up front. There's just no way around it.

With the C5 rotors and calipers you can do 17" wheels with no problems. I have the C5 set up on my car now with 17" factory 10 spokes.

Good luck.
