You'll need washers to space the caliper out a bit from the hub. And also, because of the extra distance the spacers make, you'll need longer bolts to do the job properly. Apart from that it's a direct fit.

I've got cossie front calipers and discs under my 15's. It is a tight squeeze but I've had no problems so far, so you'll be fine with 16's.

Get some braided hoses to go with the new calipers, but go for the stainless steeel fittings as the plated steel ends rust too quickly. It's worth the extra £15.
