Can a brake size be uprated by moving the caliper?

Let say that we bought a caliper(brembo ,wilwood, or something), adn it is suitable for 285mm rotors.

If we find that it is not enough for our aplication and we want to go for 325mm size rotors. Dou you think we can upgrade it, by just changing the rotors and caliper brackets?

Surely the gripping area will remain the same anyway so what would be gained?

The idea is to be able using slick tires on a drag races 15" and 17" on regular track or street uses. but if you have 17" aplicable rake system such as 325mm, you cant fit 15" rims right?

So your question, brings me an answer that, you get larger calipers and use 2 types of disks by also changing the pads if it is available. which can let you fit 15 inch as well and you get the good grip on 325 mm.
