Default 05 17" wheels and 07 brakes

Does the 07 front two-piston caliper and larger brake rotor fit the 05 17" wheels.

Thanks

The 17" OEM wheels fit over the Brembo brakes so there should be no problem fitting over the non-Brembo ones as they are smaller.

Did you replace your rear rotors to the newer ones too? (Larger 308mm rotors)? I'm considering this swap but not sure how advantageous it would be since the caliper and pads are identical.

Bigger rotor=less heat.

My thoughts exactly. I'd love a big brake kit but I'm not willing to spend the $$ at this moment so I hope to have positive results with this set up. I'm tracking my car in october so I'll report back then. Again, I'm paring this with brake ducts plus high temp brake fluid.
