Rotora big brake kit

Hey guys, I'm new to this forum and Mini ownership. I recently purchased an 03' Cooper S and I've been doing some tweaks to it. Last weekend I installed a CAI and Alta 15% pulley. This weekend I started installation of my Rotora big brake kit and it was going well until I tried to reinstall my stock wheels:/ so... They no longer fit. Shame on me for not doing all of my homework I know. Have any of you guys installed one of these brake kits and if so what size spacer or wheel specs did you use? Thanks for the help👍

I have 17s on my car with the wilwood kit... It's pretty tight even with them. I probably couldn't fit 16s on the car. Maybe, but probably not.

It might help if you post what your current rims are....
Gen1 mini's came on 15, 16, 17, and even a few 18 rims stock...
