So was wonderin will the brakes off a cav,astra (the bigger ones that everyone seems to fit) will they go on with these wheels?

off the top of my head i think the tyre size is 165/50 R15 (not sure if 165)

And finaly question what models have the brakes that i want (that everyone upgrades to)

e.g

Cav gsi 1995 + or w.e i dunno lol

thanks in advance everyone :thumb:


EDIT: found a guide in the guide section most helpful, erm just wantted to say am back into novas

Those wheels are 15" Tigra Pentalines and yes they do fit 16v ATE type brakes behind them and thats your average 'upgrade' for most people.

And you have Bought your nova from Martin not Brought two different meanings!

I know exactly what those wheels are called as theyre my old wheels on Baxters now broken saloon lol


Think he was running ATE/16v brakes on the front aswell, astra mk2 GTE's ran the same brakes under 14" alloys so theyre definately going to fit them under if you look from that point of view:thumb:
