Aftermarket Vvti Alloys On An St205? Help

[205WRC]

Hello out there Im sure this sort of question has been asked a million times, I am aware that the stud pattern and offset are the same (apparently) my question is will a set of aftermarket alloys off a 2001 VVTI fit my st205 ok? I've seen standard rims 16's on 205's but these are 17s and im concerned about the size of the brake calipers also? ... There are some I can buy for a good price but cant try or send back if they dont fit ... has anyone tried similar or know of any technical reason why they wouldn't fit?

appreciate any input.......

im pretty sure the standard 16s from the gen7 will not go on a st205. i had a free set on offer a long time ago but had to turn them down as they wont clear calipers. as for aftermarket... it all depends on what wheel it is.
