r56s / r53jcs brake swap fitment

Does anyone know if the r56s / r53jcw caliper + rotor combo fit under the 16" 5-spoke wheels? I can't remember the wheel model number or actual name but here's a pic: http://cl.ly/Q5Pa

I need to replace rotors + pads all the way around and might as well upgrade.

Thanks!

No I don't think they will. Those 5 spoke wheels are the worse at clearing brake kits.

thanks WMW, that's probably enough to keep me from doing the swap.

This should have probably gone under gen1 discussion but I was not sure if this was drivetrain or suspension related. oh well.
