dude have you tried the brembos behind the rs7's?a fair few people told me they dont fit as the rs7 is hard to get a big decent setup behind them,due to the design, i run a cossie 4 pot setup with a 278 disc this way i can run 15"s also my nice shiny 17"rs7s, they perform great ,willwoods should be fine, but as you already have the callipers you can always try,and let me know if they fit

With the right brackets I would think so?! There is plenty of room for 300mm discs behind 17's as thats what I run.

wont work mate... focus st170 disc's are 300mm x 24mm thick, focus RS disc's are 28mm thick so not really suitable!
it's not the diameter of the disc what stops you fitting behind 16" wheels or RS7 Spokes its how wide the caliper is.... hits the spokes! alltho 330mm is tight behind 16" it is possible! think christian was running 330mm AP's behind 16" comps!
I did try but thought it was too tight, i decided to go for a 310mm x 28mm bell and rotor setup!
