968? what year?...maybe the '92. Stoptech uses the caliper from the following:
<i>The StopTech ST-40 caliper is designed to use a pad from various Porsche models including the 944 Turbo, 1991-1994 911 series, 1992 968 and 1986-1991 928.</i>

most likely not (edit)
the 18" AR1 wouldnt clear on carson's GTI w/986 calipers. The MKIV GTI does have less backspacing on its rotors than we do, but still the relatively planar spoke design of the ASA doesnt allow for large calipers too well.
The ASA AR1 wouldnt fit on the GTI even with 10mm spacers.

do you have a pic of these on your car yet? i like them but have not yet seen them in person. hp evos are nice too and are alot cheaper (ebay) but they look a little riceish.
again i just mean height. i could always uses spacers for the width. maybe 18's are in order.

some 16" wheels can fit them... just not many and its not the size of the wheel
its where the spokes clear the caliper, if the spokes are too thick or the offset is incorrect on the wheel, it wont work.

exactly...
its how deep into the rim the caliper can go. thats why wheel spacers would do the trick possibly.
