Front brake Diameters?

[Ahura Mazda]

what are the brake diameters for the "i" and the "s" model Mazda3? I think the "s" are 11.5 in, no? Can I put the "s" brakes on my "i"?

not sure bout the brake diam but you will need at least 16" wheels to clear the S brakes i do know that...

Do you know what the "s" models come with, 16 or 15 in wheels?

Depending on trim, 16 or 17-inch. And as others have mentioned, min is 16-inch to clear the brakes

Could you think of any reason that the 300mm rotor couldn't fit onto the spindle assembly of my "i" ? Same question for my rear spindles?

I currently have the 16 in alloys that came with the power package. The "s" models might use a different offset than the "i" , eh???

Am I being stupid here? Has anyone else considered this?

If the caliper and caliper bracket aren't designed to go over the larger rotor, it won't work. You would have to change everything.
