Default Brake Kits that clear OEM wheels

Car is 2000 WS6, with 5 spokes. Does anyone know which kits clear the stock wheels if any? I really hate to buy new wheels and tires. Im sure there is one or two that clear!

C5 rotor/caliper upgrade clears.

The CTS-V (4pot) clears with a small wheel spacer.

I'm pretty sure both the Brembo and Stoptech kits clear stock 17" rims.

The Baer kits clear.

Stand up as in ? I consider Bear to be a big name, they were on the car when i got it and i haven't had a single problem. I plan on pushing them harder next spring when i get a chance to take it out on Road America.

Depends on what kit you are talking about, they have everything from a stock replacement to a full on forged caliper, Baer 6S they are some BAD ****'s!
