Will 16"s fit around our Brembos?
i have been wanting to rally and have noticed most people that rally use smaller wheels for more side wall i assume? anyone know if 16s will fit?

first there is virtually no tire selection when it comes to a 16" wheel so that gonna pose a problem.
i have a set of 15x6.5 enkei's coming in (tons of tires available for that size). your best bet is as tahoeacr said is to get group-n calipers or even (if you can find them) ap racing brakes (caliper model cp3720). they took me nine months to track down.
i built my MR into a rally car. not a rally cross car. but what would be very close to a group-n car if i were to strip it and put in a roll cage, if your interested in what i have done just respond here and ill give you a parts list.
