I think the AEM Big Brake Kit will only fit 17's and above.

It fits some 16's. Not sure about slips in particular.

Don't mean to bring this off topic, but why AEM big brakes? I was going to do the same, but found that the AEM kit (that uses the stock caliper) will more than likely hurt your braking since the pad won't be making full contact with the rotor.

Nope won't fit. My friend had the AEM "stock" big brake kit on his integra. The 17's he had barely cleared. He later upgraded to the big calipers and he had to try 3 different 18" wheels before he found one that fit.

If you haven't bought the AEM kit yet...DON'T!!!

99% of people will be fine with upgraded pads and fluid.

The other 1% is either doing it for show or because rules state it. I would look into Fastbrakes in this circumstance.

My car brakes great with stock brakes, Axxis Ultimates, and ATE Super Blue.

"We told you so."

Seriously, I can lock up heated 205/50-15 DOT R's with stock brakes and good pads/fluid, so unless you're racing on the track and overheating the rotors/fluid, you don't need all this bling bling bullshit.
