Right. What Clay is saying is the photos (and mine) are RSR not Cup calipers. There is a clearance issue for the wheel center (has to be deep enough for the wider caliper) and the overall diameter (400 mm give or take). The BBS wheel halves are fairly thin, don't have any experience with Fikse's.
If these aren't the calipers you have, then our thoughts might have no bearing on your plans. But I think all calipers are going to add 10-12 mm around the rotor, so you'll need an internal wheel diameter that will work with that and give you some clearance to spare.
