I don't know for sure, but generally a spacer is needed of some sort to clear everything on stock wheels.

The diameter of the disc is not an issue, but the width of the caliper and OEM wheel design means that it is very unlikely that the brake kit will fit without wheels spacers.

Get some templates from Amber performance.

To be fair I doubt it very much. I have the 330mm kit and have to run an et40 wheel.

It usually boils down to wheel design, width and offset.

It sure does. Fortunately you can get paper templates (sent via email) which you cut out and place against the inner edge of the wheel to see if the caliper will foul.
