base rotors are what you will need for replacement with the stock (black) calipers. if you were looking to do a brake upgrade to the "s" type ones you will have the clearance required to do so with the 17" wheels. with the 17" wheels and decent tires you should have plenty of grip on acceleration with the base engine unless you are bouncing off of the rev limiter when you dump the clutch (not recommended).
