Hi guys, I have some ATE calipers complete with 256mm disks, and I am wanting to put them on my nova. I know they pretty much bolt straight on, but will they fit behind my standard 3 spoke alloys?

Cheers

Oh, and anyone got any advise on fitting these, problems etc....thanks again

yep

but u can get away with 14 astra wheels

i think its the width of the wheels / profile that dont fit

as mr oxford says,14"astra rims will fit, also corsa 14"seem to fit fine too.think now's a good time for you to get some nice new 15"s or 16"s 8)

wheel spacers are on option

if your desperate anyway

its only because brand new pads and disks are wider than worn ones obviously, when theyeve worn down at least 50% youll find they fit.

Hmmm...think I'll go and make use of the Halfords low interest payment method, its cheaper than using my credit card!

They are nice wheels mate!

How much you after and how wide are they, will I need to mod the arches to fit with a 40mm drop?

Cheers
