Stock 16" wheels will fit over HP-2 brakes as that is how they were set up
in Europe.  European & R.O.W. cars had UFOs for the first year or so and
then switched to HP-2s,  while the North American market only got the G60s
(Unless someone upgraded to the HP-2s).  The best way to tell if you have
the HP-2 calipers is that they use 4 small pads, vs. 2 larger ones.
