For Reference:
I have standard wheels and my tire size is Width 225 Profile 55 Rim 17
Break disc and pads I needed are the 16" ones.
I went with #Brembo breaks and pads at the front.
Back tires I went with Brembo pads but #Delphi disc / routers. The shims I had to reuse as the Brembo ones did not fit on the disc. I was unable to get the 16" rear Brembo disc at the time. Which is why I used them.
