I just got that same brake kit. Do 16's clear them alright?

16's should clear them easily. you just cant go under 15.

It depends on the offset and spoke design. Desmond Regamaster EVO, Spoon SW388, Rota Slipstream, etc. with high offsets don't offer enough clearance for the caliper without a wheel spacer.

For example, I own two sets of 15"x6.5" wheels, one with a +45 offset and one with a +42 offset. The set with a +42 offset fit perfect but due to the spoke design of the wheels with a +45 offset they would need at least a 12mm wheel spacer, making them a +33 offset before they fit.

Wilwood gives measurements in their instructions on their website so you can determine if your wheels will fit or not.

I've been wanting to try them out for a while and just happened to be in the right place at the right time to get this set. JHP has had them on back order for a while and Hardrace doesn't even list them on their website. I'm going to try and get them installed and align the car again on Wednesday and see how the car reacts.

Edit: A picture of how they mount so others don't have to look it up.
