16 inch wheels are pretty inexpensive and so are 16 inch tires. That's the way to go if you're looking to upgrade the brakes to this rear set up and the 300mm front set up. Adding parts and spending money you don't need to to make 15 inch wheels sorta work would not be the path I chose.

True, always the voice of reason, so boring , hahaha I just found it interesting that the rears fit for him.
Personally I just bought the m3 adapter for the rear, that way I can go with a factory bias with stock front and rear m3 brakes, and still only need to go 16" wheels.
Works for me. . . . . of course it will sit for a while as I gather other parts..*sigh*...
