Default I run those on my Coupe and with 323x30 rotors....not much more room there unless

you want to have some unswept area on the rotor...with custom brackets you can mate any caliper to any rotor pretty much. Oh, and also I had to file down the pins on the caliper to accept 30mm wide rotors. Stock 996 C2/4 front rotors are 318x28mm

Default 996 Carrera caliper can be squeezed over a 30mm thick rotor, max...

Leaves about 0.5mm on either side of the rotor to clear the caliper "pins". The 996tt caliper has a much wider rotor opening but uses a different mounting bolt pattern than most Porsche calipers.
