Hi Mat , the 6 pot I have are 370mm , which I got from Empire Performance , I'm not sure exactly what version they are but there may be differences between models , the rears of this set do specify a 355mm ,I think they offer a 350mm with the set and advise to trim 5mm off the outer edge of the pads but I used a 360mm only because the DBA rotors don't come in a 355mm therefore the pads wear the disc 6mm short of the outer edge of the disc .
The Redline rear Brenbo's do use a 360mm disc as standard and I think they must be different to the ones offered on ebay .
Hope that make more sense than the ancient latin woooo used

Ok so unfortunately DBA don’t do the wave rotors for commodores.
Can the guys that have fitted these brakes post the DBA part numbers please?

So the CTS-V 6 piston brakes do technically fit behind standard SSV wheels but the clearance between brake caliper and back of wheel spokes is less the a bees dick.

The wheel dose spin without touching but it’s way to close So unfortunately the brake upgrade is on hold till I a new set of wheels and back from New York in feb.

Wheels are going to be Koya SF10 front are going to be 8.5”x 19” with 45 offset which should give 3mm clearance between spoken caliper. Rears I haven’t decided on size yet but I’m thinking I’ll go 9.5” x 19”

Yeah. Poor little dick bee. Always having his little bee dick compared to small stuff. Must have been unchubbed I guess? I bet the queen gives him grief. Such whores those queen bees.
