I had to mount a 16" camaro wheel on the rear once when I got a flat. There was interference and the car would not roll. It is not the brakes that are the problem. It is the top of the spindle that sticks out the most. I probably could have used them if I could have clearanced the inside of the rim. They were not my wheels and it was only so I could get my flat fixed anyway so I didn't try. Good luck.
