Default Big brake upgrade with my stock 16" wheels?

Does anyone know if the 312mm big brake udgrade will fit with my stock 16"s? It says minimum of 16" wheels but it doesn't look like there's enough room. does anyone have this upgrade with these wheels?

there are some TT's running around with 16's. It might just depend on the offset.

I'm not worried about the offset, it has room there. I'm worried about the inside diameter of the wheels. These babies are thick.

if your talking about the ecs kit that uses the A8 rotor and tt carrier then it'll fit its a tight sqeeze but itll fit. i saw it done on a DIY, i was going to get the kit but was a bit short.

I would have to agree with SAudi. The brakes fill my 17" wheels pretty nicely, but there's definitely room around them, and I can't see why it'd be a problem to fit them in the 16" wheels. Like he said, it'll be tight, but it should fit.
