Basically ... as Steve stated, all the other NEW sizes 405MM (16.2") and 380MM (15.2") should also fit, if the minimum requirements are met ...
I have seen Toyota Chasers (similar size as the IS300) with 19" rims and AMG 8 pots with 380mm rotors ...

Hmmmm, what to do what to do.......I like those metallic blue rotors, might look good on a silver car...or the silver rotors for that matter.

Yep, Henry is correct. My brake setup was built entirely around my wheels... Not the best way to do things (very stressful for myself and Rotora) but I had already got the wheels from Japan. However, Rotora really wants to put the 6 pot up front on my car so i either have to have LMW cut me a 7mm hub-centric wheel spacer or purchase new front wheels with a very aggressive offset like Henry's car...
The silver does indeed look hot.. But I think it would look better on a Blue, Black, & Red car. Silver brakes on a silver car has to match in color or it may look a little wierd. MB AMG cars always looked hot with the silver car/silver brakes because it matched perfect in color. The new Rotora black caliper with silver logo is going to look hot as well. I believe a CL member here has the black Rotora 6/4 setup but had to pay a little more for it...

The new setups sound interesting but I doubt would clear my new wheels. It is somewhat tight as it is with just the StopTechs. Upgrading to more $ brakes + new wheels to fit them = too much $ for now.

Anyway, that is true. It barely fits the OEM brakes.
