I answered your PM, but i'll answer here too for others to know.

you will need hi disk to clear 95-00 front brakes!
you can run mid disks but that will require spacers to clear, which will lower the final offset even more.

that wheel sizing will certainly require fender modification depending on tire size and ride height!

Are disk sizes different between all of the aftermarket wheel brands?

I have 18" Advan AVS T5's on my '99... 9 inches wide in the front, 10" in the rear. The 10" in the rear definitely have a taller disk, but the disk on the 9's still clear the big calipers.

yes they differ between brands and even models, since at times the spoke design dictates the pad. advans are generous with their caliper clearances.

you can have the same wheel with different pads:
