Default Does the F sport have bigger brakes???

I was set to get a winter set of 18 inch wheels for my F sport, when the guy from CariD said that the F sport has larger brakes than the base RX, so I couldn't go down to 18 inch wheels. I know some F sport owners have downsized for the winter, but I have never heard of any changes to the brakes over the base RX. Does anyone know?

I just looked at the brakes, and they look like typical factory brakes. There is also PLENTY of room between the calipers and the inside edge of the wheel. I estimate about 1.5 inches. Certainly enough room to go down to 18 inch wheels.

^^^ +1.

Only springs, shocks, and lateral performance dampers are different on the F-Sport. Brakes/tires/bolt pattern identical.
