i was wondering if i'd have to upgrade my brakes to accomodate bigger wheels. i was thinking maybe 16's or 17's. my particular car comes with 15's stock. will bigger wheels clear the stock brakes?

It's usually the other way around. If you want bigger brakes, you need to upsize the wheels... I dont see a reason that the smaller brakes wont fit with the larger wheels? -Nick

Like 99black said, getting larger wheels will actually give you more room around the brakes. Because you already have 15's you could safely upgrade to the SVT size rotors...if you step up to the 17's you could fit the Wilwood setup from BAT and most likely the Baer Claw setup.
