youd be better off with 278 calipers though, part of the benefit in fiting bigger brakes is the bigger pad/disc contact area, which you wouldnt get with 258 calipers.

If you have the standard 240mm setup try and soursce the 260mm standard setup for an easy and quick upgrade

plus, i dont know of anyone thats done it, im guessing youd need new caliper carriers and as far as i know there arent any that exist to mount 258 calipers onto 278 discs, however i may be wrong
try a few breakers yards, or part finders on the internet (google car spares or something)
