I don't want to have to get 17's just to accomodate the rotors. I'd like to be able to use 16's or even 15's and still have decent stopping power (as well as aesthetically pleasing to the eye on what's behind the wheels).

I've seen the old AEM big rotor upgrades. They dont look too bad with the stock GSR calipers. Im not sure if they sell them anymore, but one of my friends has it on his GSR with 16 inch CP035's. It looks sweet and barely clears.
