Question question about wheel fitment. (16's on 07)

hello everyone,
sorry if i posted this in wrong section.

i have 2001 ram 1500 SLT 2wd. i recently found a guy whos willing to trade his oem 07 wheel for my 16's.
so i did some research and bolt pattern seems same (correct me if im wrong), but now my main concern is his brake calipers or rotors... will my 16 inch clear his brake calipers and rotors?
im pretty sure 2007 have bigger brake system....
i wish i knew the offset/brand of my 16inch wheels but i have no idea(wheels came with the car), but if it helps tire size - 265/75/16

so this is his 2007 20inch oem wheels that will go on my 2001 1500 2wd.



and here is pics of my 16inch wheels that we're trying to see if itll fit on 2007 1500 SLT with 5.7L engine. (im posting lots of pics of my car/wheel since i have no idea what my offset is lol) very sorry about my newbness.

16" wheels will not fit without grinding or otherwise modifying the brake calipers.

if this thread serves no other purpose, at least it has nice pics

16's are too small, but you should see if you can still make some kind of a deal to get those rims. They are nice, and look real good painted black too.
