I have a 98 E0 SVT with 17" summer wheels. I have two questions:

1. Can I convert my rear discs to the larger 280mm? I need to replace the rotors soon so this would be a good time to do it. I'm assuming that I'd need new (larger) calipers and pads. How much are calipers anyway?

2. Would the larger rear brakes fit behind my stock SVT wheels (which have my winter tires on them)? I'm pretty sure that they would since I've rotated the tires several times without incident.

I think this would be a great upgrade if it's feasible. Thoughts?
