FIAT 284's are prolly cheapest. Or GM 288's (vectra 5 stud) through trade club.

[edit] Maybe worth seeing what comes on Meriva's. iirc they have a large disc on a 4 stud fitment.

The calipers arent 280mm. The brackets may place the caliper a certain distance from the hub centre, but a couple mm clearance is available I'm sure + you can easily file 1 or 2 mm from the bracket if it fouls.

eg: 284 disc will only need 2mm filing to clear.

[edit] End the text typing dude!

im using fiat coupe ones redrilled but changing to different ones soon. going to look into the meriva idea, i have yellow stuff green stuff and mintex, in my experience the green stuff and mintex are pretty much equal.

Fiat disks won't fit with Wilwoods, offset of the disk is totally wrong. I ended up buying from Rally Design but they aren't cheap, about £160 a pair for plain disks.

Vauxhall actually do a 4 stud 280mm disc, not sure if these would work.

As used on 'For use in Ireland' Combo vans. Only found this out at work the other day, not sure if it'll be any use :thumb:

No idea, I had the same and nobody knew what they were off. Centre bore is wrong for a Nova hub though.
