will brembos fit on my wagon?

Hey guys,
I was wondering if brembos would fit under stocker 16s. Or do I need to move up to 17s or 18s?

I found a good deal on one set of brembos on ebay, it comes with the caliber and rotor, what else do I need to do a good complete install?

My plan is to throw these brembos on the front since it was only one front set, and pick up the 0607 4pot brakes for the back, whatta you guys think?

Thanks for the help

17s and you have to make sure the rim tapers out fairly quickly to avoid the calipers. Not all 17s can fit brembos.

is there any way of knowing which 17s they will fit under? i am picking up a set of rotas so i hope they fit ahah.

yahh there crazy expensive. one of the reasons i only picked up the front brembos and went with the smaller stock 4pots for the back.
