Larger wheels won't necessarily increase your contact patch for better traction. That contact patch is largely dependent on overall circumference of your tire and tire pressure. That's how it's explained in the link you've posted.
Anyways, my 18" APEX ARC-8 18x8.5 ET38 wheels clear my M Sport/M Performance Brakes with no issues.
