Default Big brake setup, Wilwoods and rimsize question

I've got 17's and wilwood big brake setup on my civic. I was wondering if i could use 16 inch rims, oem or 15 inch steelies. I was told to buy spacers and i could fit 16's. Winters on it's way and i need to get these rims off, never the less, i was thinking get the stock brake setup and rock steelies... any input?

thanks in advance

i use to have the wilwood brakes on my civic with 16 in wheels but I think with 16's it is very depent on what the offset of the wheel is.

It depends on the rotor size as well.

I would think spacers would do the trick since some 16's work because they allow space between the willwood caliper and back side of the rim. Its just it might push your wheel out too far and rub.
