I know what you're driving at - but for the most part the look you like is achieved by a smaller tire size in front and larger out back.

^ ^ You usually have to specify at the time of build.
If you pull the wheels off and get the specs to HRE they should be able to tell you.
Or, you could measure the stock calipers vs. BBK caliper you're interested in and measure the distance between the back of the spoke and the caliper for an educated guess. You can also test fit your wheels on a car that has the BBK.
