By using 300mm rotors (E46 328) and the corresponding caliper carriers you can upgrade run the 300mm brakes. They only require 16inch wheels.
You cannot go by just rotor size to determine what size wheels you can use. The caliper will be the determining factor as the caliper sticks out further than the rotor will.
