What wheel size are you going with?
How much machining work are you willing to undertake or have done on the discs? If it's not important, and having something off the shelf to fit straight away is a low priority, then the only real limitation may be the height of the disc. And even that can be overcome.
What's the thickness of the front disc?

280mm would be best considering i wanted to use the largest possible disc under a 15" wheel. I am running ronal R8 15" ET42 at the moment. This does have a problem with fitment, and would require running 1.8mm spacers , which i don't want. I do have now also sourced a set of 280x22 mm AP racing discs, and with custom bells for the discs and custom adapters for the calipers I should be able to get away with a 0.8mm spacer between the discs & wheels.
I have no problem doing some work, as i just like to have a very nice solution
*edit* Ow, and one other thing that let me to 280mm discs is, i wanted to run nice shiny red porsche calipers, and i didn't want to upgrade the B2 front struts to the (different mounting for calipers) B3 front struts.
