Default GT brakes on stock rims?

I need new brake pads here soon so I thought I would just upgrade to GT rotors while I was at it. Anyone know if the rotors will fit with my stock 6er rims?

You cannot "just upgrade" the rotors., you need GT caliper brackets.
After the upgrade you cannot use the stock 16 inch wheels

Yeah, I agree with everyone, all you really need to for the GT rotors is the caliper brackets. I am in the process of this mod. I have the rotors and now just waiting on the caliper brackets to get here.

Yeppers, 17" or bigger rims for GT brackets and rotors on a V6.
