Not the calipers, the rotors. Switch to a 390 or a 400+ mm rotor and the caliper will be just fine.

I've runs 20" rims for 2+ years with no bends. Now tires....don't get Nittos. They bruise if you run over a penny. Michelin Pilot Super Sports resist bruising great!

Those look nice....I was looking at the same wheels, but in all silver. But I'm scared to drive on 19+ wheels in Houston....

Sorry a bit off topic but

Aren't the evosport rotors are bigger than stock ? cuz I've seen them post that for clearance you need to have a 19 I assumed that meant the caliper is indeed bigger.

Also doesn't the bigger rotor doesn't use all the caliper and there is still some unused portion on the bigger rotor ?

Yes, the evosports are 390mm stock is 360 I believe. I did the evosports as my second mod and haven't looked back. The calipers don't make any wheel look small though!
