The mounting points are not size-specific, but many forks (at least in the MTB world) have design limits to the max size of rotor "allowed". In practice, I would think a 160 or 185 in front would be plenty, and a 160mm in back definitely plenty. The larger-sized discs will usually require some sort of mounting adapter to correctly position the caliper further from the axle, so check whether the specific model brake you are buying includes the adapter you need, or whether you will have to buy it separately.
