Default Brake options running 17s

About to put on some 17" OZ P1 wheels.
Looking to upgrade the front brakes as it feels like id be better off stopping with my feet out the door.
Brembos do they fit or do they not someones told me they will with a spacer? Will D2 / Ksports fit?
Or am I better sticking with something like the Prodrive Alcons?

Prodrive Alcons definetly fit, Have them on mine at the moment.

Brembo's will require a spacer , witch can be leas cost effective, With the price of decent hubcentric spacer's you could use towards a Alcon or AP Racing kit.

will be very dependant on what the wheel profile and brake caliper profile is. Brembo's are unlikley to fit.

I know scoobyclinic 6 pots will go under hawk wrx 17's and there pretty tight on clearance
