nah i would say 15" with 2ltr fitted, with out skimming the calipers.

i fitted a set of mk4 astra ate calipers and was running 14" and they caught.

Some 14s fit, best to go 15" to be safe.

I have Astra GTE teardrops, which came off same car the brakes can come off, so obviously fit. It's more about the width of the wheel with 14" wheels.

Go 15" :D
