to go 16v you need hubs change will get you 256 mm

the G60 has 280mm but you need big wheels - 15" or more with decent offset

Unless you going really daft with the power 256mm's will be fine.

^^ Yeh this. 280mm brakes on a standard engine isnt worth money imo, you'll just end up locking up everywhere too if you're not careful.
