Depends on model year.
Later are 320mm but the calipers look almost identical and I doubt anyone could tell the difference between a 316 and 320 setup.

2mm on the radius is negligible.

Just upgraded my 2001 P2 from factory 305mm to 320mm,these upgrades came from a 2007 P2 and were the std equipment on that car.

The car they came from is now wearing 336mm off an XC90

Mine were upgraded by the previous owner before I got it. No idea of the donor vehicle.

How easy is it to upgrade to the 336mm ones from the 316mm? I'm assuming I would need larger carriers? But could use the existing calliper?

316-336 is like 286-305
Same caliper and pads, just a different carrier.

Also consider a larger brake disc guard as your current one is only good up to 320mm so you'll have a pronounced disc overhang.

Not sure what size my AwdR discs are. I thought 320mm but not 100%sure. But am 100% sure the only 17" wheel from volvo to go over the brembo caliper are pegasus.

This makes a good read

Does anyone have the larger carriers? Might be a worthwhile upgrade

barrybritcher · Apr 27th, 2017, 02:02

Anyone gone from 320 to 336 is it worth it?
