16 inch wheels, no.
17 inch wheels, yes.

I think you need 17" wheels for them to work. At least that's what it says at the GEF Racing web site.

I believe you can do the 99+ GT calipers and stock size rotors under a 16 inch wheel. They're also a two piston caliper like the Cobra's and will greatly improve braking over the stock single piston caliper.

Yes they are PBR's. As far as what you need to make them work, I cant help ya as I run the cobra set up. Maybe someone else can help you out .

I run the '02 PBRs on the stock rotor, but I'm going to go to the Cobra '13s as soon as I scare up some rotors (or have the 13s turned) some coarse threaded banjo bolts and some braided hoses.
Sooooo---once it's done, I'll have some red PBR calipers w/Hawk pads, some fine thread banjo bolts & some braided metal brake lines that'll be surplus to my needs but may fit yours.
