I have 15mm wheel spacer in front, that should allow me to install 17inch rims and still keep the Brembo brakes I think

????????

The shortest slick MT offers in a 16" rim is 33" tall....so no...they don't make any good 16" slicks...lol

Thats 8" taller than stock.

13" and 15" are really the only 2 good rim sizes when it comes to drag slicks for FWD sport compacts.

You need the rotors, calipers, pads, lines. I have a set that Im selling, complete kit to just bolt up to your car and be able to run 16" slicks without any grinding. If you then belt sand that calipers down a bit you can fit 15s.
