Default 16" rims fit over XG brakes?

Anyone know off hand if 16" rim and tires will fit over the XG 350 big brake swap for RD1's? Found a totaled XG at a local yard and I want to go back and get the brakes if 16" rims will fit over them.

I have the xg caliber and KIA rotor setup (my invention of course....gotta add that part) and I clear 15s so I can damn well guarantee you'll clear 16s

Are you rocking stockers Faith and if you are did you have to shave down some of the calipers? Bc I have the 15" FX wheels and would love to do the BBK and if it'll clear 15's then I'll be doing it sooner than I thought.

10.8 to be technical

You gotta use kia spectra rotors to get the right bolt pattern

and yes the clearance is tiny I'm talkin millimeters

No clue iirc its like 9.9" but only 1 piston calipers

The xg swap gives you bigger pads, rotors and 2 piston calipers great swap for cheap
