Default Biggest Brakes behind Escos wheels?

I have Escort Cosworth wheels on the Ka, and im just finishing off an ERST engine conversion. So i was wondering what are the biggest brakes you can get behind them? I was thinking of doing the 300mm disc conversion alot of the RS boys do, very much like the ST170 setup iirc?

305mm is the biggest if my memory serves correctly and thats a tarox 6 pot kit but requires a small wheel spacer shim

300mm is going to be pushing it a bit then maybe?

What are standard Esccos front disks - 260mm?
