Default AEM Big Rotor brake kit with 15"

I was wondering if anyone has used the AEM big brake kit. If so does anyone know if you can fit 15" Mugen RNR's over them. I had a friend try them with 15" 5-zigen wheels but they were too small. I measured and it's really close with my wheels.
I know that AEM is not the best for brakes but I would rather go to larger slotted rotors than just stock slotted.

Just go with a better brake pad and fluid. Your not going to see a gain from slotted rotors, or that AEM kit.

I dont know if they will clear the AEM kit, but Team Dynamics Pro1/(I believe pro2 as well) are the only 15" I know of that will clear the Wilwood 12.2" brake kit. They are the most likely candidate for fitting with AEM brakes. But again, that is simply speculation.

Try a set of better pads and fluid before you dump alot of money on a brake kit you will likely never use to full potential on the street.

I have AEM kit on my hatch and the best size is 17's. That's the recommended size, although there are some 16's that fits.

if your thinking of getting mugen RNRs have a search for them in the wheel and tire forum, plenty of people have had issues with them.
