Yes I believe so, theres a few companies who will do a size upgrade, seen a lad with Clio 200 disks wonder if a 406 upgrade would work? However it would take a bit of tinkering I'm sure

and you're still going to bake in the same distance as someone with oem sized discs with a good pad compound because you're tyres are now the limiting factor and it only takes so much braking force to exert a force large enough to lock the wheel which anyone could achieve

although yours will cool much more easy than anyone elses and look so much fuller in the wheel

But they will weigh more, cost more and won't fit inside 15" wheels

parada spec 2 tyres and winter tyres. no problem with breaking distance although the only factor is the break pads due to it being a trail run.
Hoping to take on track next month as well for a test, then both front and rear will get up-rated compound pads.
As well as cooling with the correct pads on the track they shouldn't suffer brake fade as fast.

But as Neil has said it can be costly, I sourced carriers off ebay, £50, Brembo HC Discs are cheaper, OEM pads are the same price. But if ou went through Renault... OCUH!

60mm pots and 270mm rear discs will be on order over August as well, plug and play
