Brake upgrade please help!

Im sure this is on here somewhere, went though a lot of pages and didnt find anything. I need to put new brakes on my sedan and was wanting to do a brake upgrade. Was wanting to do a BBK type but heard none of those would take factory wheels which i go to during winter. Is there a caliper out there that looks good(BBK style) that will fit factory wheels. Thanks in advance for the input.

The OEM BBK from Akebono will fit on the stock 18's with a 15-20mm spacer. Otherwise I think the wilwood kit will clear, but not 100% sure.
