Brake Question 850 1996

I have a 1996 850 with the 5-spoke 16" wheels. My front pads and rotors are getting to the end of their useful lives, and I'd like to replace them with the 280mm to 302mm rotor diameter conversion kit found on IPD (http://www.ipdusa.com/ProductsCat.aspx?CategoryID=654&NodeID=3286&RootID=629). The website has two disclaimers. The first is in the kit description: "Not for use with 15” wheels." The second is in the "order item" line: "Requires 17" wheels." I know that 297-303mm rotors usually will fit in 16" wheels (at least at the big 3 auto company I work for). Has anyone tried installing this kit on a car with stock 16" wheels with success?
