What brakes will fit under three spokes:confused:
std delco & vented delco... bmw156 got some 236mm vents with ate calipers under some with a bit of grinding.. i think it depends on rim size. what are yours?
and the offset of the 3 spokes as there was two different ones.
256mm 2.0 brakes will fit, but will need a fair amount of grinding, not reccommened
256mm 2.0 brakes won't fit, as they need a fair amount of grinding, not recommended

i would not fit early delco calipers to any nova! hell no
I think corsa gsi brakes fit, not 100% on it but iirc they are 256mm X 20mm as opposed to the 2.0 16v which are 256mm X 24mm
^
The calipers are indeed smaller, but iirc even they need trimming

i have a 5 set of gsi 3 spokes.
5Jx14
ET47.5
et49 16" speedlines ftw!:roll: :p :thumb:
iirc 3spokes come in 4.5J too, which dont clear bugger all, oh and make sure there all the same if you ever buy a set.

well mine are all 14inch et47.5 5j but ideally i need 15inch rims to get some good brakes on there in which case if i had some GM alloys what brakes would you recommend
As said, 2.0 256mm brakes. Will fit under 15inch wheels easy.

vented gte/gsi brakes are the biggest ive seen under them without any grinding involved.
gte's/gsi's use slightly bigger diameter brake lines from the master cyclinder too.

thats it bud , they are a straight swap/direct fit!
you will need to remove the dust/sh1t gaurd from the hub if you fit the 256mm set up
they are on all calibras and the 2.0 gl cavs aswell
