Hi there, could anybody tell me what the largest disc diameter can be used in a set of 18" wheels (FRONT). Im now wanting larger than 325mm, im assuming 360mm is too big, i cant find anything between 325mm (or 335mm) upto 360mm, just seems to be a big jump. (4 pot idealy, 6 pot could be to much)

many people on here have 18", so good too know . Thanks in advance.

Different 18" alloys have a different internal diameter. Also the caliper clearance between caliper and the spoke are different.

Biggest I've seen here in the states (that I can confirm) are the 330mm fronts from the new S/V70Rs with Porsche calipers. Willwood might have bigger... I think some folks might be running 360mm, but there are alot of caliper clearance issues that come up.
