Biggest aftermarket front brakes in std 3Door rims?

Guys,

Im wanting to replace my front brake set up to a slightly larger/better bit of kit, (discs and calipers) but retain the standard 3 Door cos wheels,

What are my options brakes wise, as im not replacing the original 15" alloys!

Thanks

Well said Paul, I actually never replaced them in the end, just changed the the discs to grooved ones and changed the pads to yellow stuff EBC ones and dot 5 fluid, did loads of track days without any braking issues apart from warping front discs quiet often, LOL.
