Default Big brakes with slicks...

I have the chance to pickup the wilwood 12.29 BBK for a nice price...I know these brakes will clear 16" slips which will be on the car 99% of the time, what im wondering is if there is anyway that i could fit a 15" wheel on there for slicks, ie. spacers ect...

although imn not %100 sure, i can venture to guess they wont work on 15's. only becuase stock Type R breaks just barely clear 15's

My boy has a Type R and his 15 inch bogarts barley barley fit and aren't those brakes bigger- my guess is no, try the companies web site it probably will tell you. AEM does give size requierments about their brakes

once you put big brakes, you are reaching a fine line on the clearance of Drag wheels. THe RSX-S brakes wont even clear regular 15" drag wheels with spacers.. they have to downgrade their brakes to the reg RSX brakes.

If you are planning to use Slicks in the future, do not do the brake upgrade. Your slick size choices wont be that great and there will be clearance issues you'll have to deal with.
