rotors and calipers for EX

I have an EX coupe, and I use my ex rims in the winter and have 18" for the summer. The Rotors with my 18's on look wicked small, and I want my rotors to fill in the open space behind my wheels; however I need to put my ex rims back on in the winter so I would need something to fit both rims. Is this possible, or is there just not enough space inside the EX wheels to get a bigger kit?
I searched and found this link Brake options but couldn't find my answer.
THanks

In "General" the biggest rotors you can fit within a 16" rim is 11.8" ... but this is defined by the rim and caliper design so there is no guarantees.

You "Should" be able to use OE Si Brakes with your 16" EX rims Any bigger rotor sizes will require you to swap rotors / pads/callipers when you change over to your winter setup
