For the larger AWD kit you need either the stock 17" wheels or aftermarket 17" wheels.

A little grinding for clearance is required on the caliper bracket for clearance. 

aem-2gawd-clearanceto17inchwheels.jpg (131969 bytes) With the AWD larger rotors and calipers clearance inside the wheels is tight. So far all 17" wheels (shown) fit fine. 
aem-2gawd-supportcaliper.jpg (140827 bytes) When ever working on the rotors, keep the brake caliper supported. Do not allow the caliper to hang by the brake line. Tie it up well. Many guys try to short cut things by balancing the caliper up somewhere, it WILL fall at some time during the job ! 
aem-awdpadoverhang.jpg (208367 bytes) Because of the different radius of the stock rotor vs. the AEM rotor, the brake pads will hang off the edge of the rotor slightly. This does NOT cause any problems. We have been selling and using these for over 6 months now.
