Default Rotor question

I have a C4 (1992) convertible. Just replaced the stock 17" front and back saw blades with replica C5 ZO6 wheels and tires (18 fr and 19 ba).

I am looking to purchase a rotor / pad kit all around.

What size rotors can I increase too ? I believe stock is 12" up front in 1992 but I have a larger wheel now.

Thanks in advance !!

steve

You will need new calipers with your new rotors

You can definitely do 13" in the front which was standard in 96 so you could find some 96 reman front calipers.

If you are going to upgrade I would do c5 zo6 brakes in the front or c6 zo6 brakes if you can find/afford them.
