Just a suggestion,, since you painted the R yellow on the wheels, you should jack up and turn the front wheels so the R is in the same place as the rear wheels. Little details for the OVD (Obsessive Volvo Disorder) in us.

Thank you. Glad you like it. I like keeping my cars in tip top shape.

Was super excited to instal the BBks on the car today, Finally got all the parts that I would need to complete this project porsche 996 front calipers, rear oem R calipers, SS lines, S60R front and rear rotors, CJs front brackets , front and rear pads and finally paint the calipers. Well guess what. Balls! The front rotors are to thick and wont clear the calipers. We shaved down the ears of the calipers a bit but the pads will still interfere. My guy said to shave down the brake pads to get more clearance, not sure if I just scrap this project or try and figure it out.

Also not sure if the calipers will hit the rotor on the inner part of the caliper and if so if we need to add a spacer will it clear the 17 oem R wheel.

Your rotor clearance issue is because you used the wrong calipers. Need 993 not 996.

993 throat is 34.72mm (for a 32mm rotor) while the 996 throat is 30.65mm (for a 28mm rotor).

Do you think if I sand down the ears I can make the 996 calipers work with these rotors?

I mean you’re sanding down 4mm that’s a ton of Mayer ipa to remove

So scrap this project?

Not exactly. I bet you can sell the incorrect calipers and source the right ones for the same price

Lets see what I decide to do. Thanks again for all your help brother.

Took off the covers also and painted them gold.

What can I say. Beautiful.

The covers look really good in gold. I've seen a lot of yellows and a lot of blues, and some yellow and blue. Aside from the factory blue "R" color, your gold looks the best in my opinion. I'm surprised (pleasantly) you chose not to go with yellow, considering the rest of your exterior theme.
