    What wheels? if you are thinking GM some of them are 5J wide (3 spokes) wheras most of the other stuff from GM is 5.5J which takes 256mm easy. As said SR steels will accomodate them too. If you run worn out pads they will go under 3 spoke Nova alloys (LOL).

    I presume 410mm is a typo (16" +)
