This will depend on which brake kit or rotor size you use, but most of the existing brake kits on the market will clear most 15" wheels.

The Greddy kit retails for $1850 but it doesn't fit the Yaris. They had a typo on their website a while back, but it's corrected now. The kit will only fit Echo, Xa/Xb.

I haven't seen any Wilwood "kits" on the market, only a couple of people do self made ones...

Fab up a backing plate that can accept a 2.5 inch hose and get some front fog light bezels. Run hose from the bezel directly to the rotor hat. That will help curb brake fade. This can cool rotor temps as much as 600 degrees.

Here is the setup on my Cobra. I have zero fade with an agressive street pad at Streets of Willow.

Thanks,

Try some brake cooling before spending big bucks on a brake upgrade. The stock calipers seem decent. With SS lines good pads, fluid and some sort of cooling setup the stock calipers would probably be fine for 99% of the track whores out there.
