Just get stock size. The rotors are designed to fit your application with little room for error. Just find slotted/drilled/whatevered rotors in the same size and you'll be in good shape.

Yes but they wont fit, you need to get bigger rims. Even if they did fit, the whole conversion is very expensive and unless you are on the track then there is no reason to do it. Just buy some drilled slotted brembos, stock size.

if the stock EX wheels are 15" then you can fit the Wagon rotors and calipers, or use the Wagon rotors and Legend Coupe calipers (they'll just barely clear 15" rims).

If you want bigger discs, you are gonna need bigger rims. They just wont fit under the stock 15's.

On the site that make them(Rotora,Brembo,AEM etc)they say you need at least 17" wheels for them to fit.
