Default 16inch alloys on brembo calipers???help

can some one tell me if 16 inch alloys will fit on our mondeo st 2006 (all standard apart from the BREMBO calipers).
Was planning a set of smaller alloys and winter tyres for the winter, was just about to order them but they werent sure if 16's will fit with the brembo calipers, any help gratefully recieved?

remind me, what size discs do they have? think anything above 310mm you might struggle. that said if you use the team dynamics that christian had on his rs turbo you can get upto 330mm just about.

i'm going to be fitting 324mm discs with brembo four pots in the next week, all under 16" Rota alloys. i know a little work on the caliper is needed, all of 1.8mm to get clearance i've calculated on two small areas.

just had a quick play and they will just fit under my rota 16" wheels. the wheel weights are a bit in the way and as such will need a little shaving off the calliper.
they will be a tight fit, but doable.
