Default Will 12.19" Wilwood Big Brakes fit inside 16" Desmond Regamasters? HELP!!!

I'm looking at buying a 12.19" Wilwood Big Brake kit on my 89 CRX HFand wondering if they will fit inside 16" Desmond ProRacers(same as Regamasters). On the Site it says that they require a minimum 16 inch wheel and I don't want them to rub on my ProRacers. Anyone know if they will fit without issues?

I'm going to assume you mean 16x7? Eitherway, this answer applies to such size.

They'll work as long as you have a 38 or lower offset. You may have to put the wheel weights on the inside of the barrel to avoid clipping the caliper.

Yeah they are 16x7 and +35 offset so that should work right? The wheel weights are already mounting on the inside too so that's good news.

yeah it should work. i upgraded my fronts to rotora with 11.8" rotors but the calipers were HUGE!!! i have spoon rims 16x7 with +45 offset and the spokes where hitting the calipers so i bought some hubcentric 5mm spacers and now it's not rubbing so with the +35 offset you should be good to go.
