Front discs/caliper

Afternoon people

I have a 2014 b8 rs4, but it has non standard front discs & calipers fitted from previous onwer. Went to change discs/pads for ebc 2 piece floating fronts and ebc yellow pads, the pads fit as have worked out the caliper is an Akebono 6 pot so the b9 pads fit.

The problem is the disc bell housing is to big for the caliper to bolt back on. Are the b9 discs a diameter of 375mm or 380mm?

Any advice would be helpful

Thanks

My 2018 RS4 B9 has 375mm x 36mm front disc's.

These are a 'floating' discs with a fixed caliper attached to the front wheel hub. Most cars are solid disc's with 'floating' calipers.

I hope this helps
