Dont know about the brakes under 14's but I guess they probably would. Corsa braces are to wide, but you can mod them to fit with ease.

[Sloth]

been asked 40 gazillion times use the search.

[Gibbo]

2ltre brakes sould sit under the 14s

[Ernie]

they wont fit under 14" gte 3 spokes unless you grind them down alot

[Jack]

Yes, and no. lol

Some people say they fit, some don't. Probably due to the 3 spokes coming in two offsets, 47.5 and 49.

[beggsy]

i have no idea so just wanted to check. so corsa b rear brace wont will unless modified?

[MattBrown]

ET49, and 5.5j ones fit.

All others need shaving:thumb:

Correct, needs shortening. TBH braces are pish easy to make yourself anyway.

[beggsy]

[Sloth]

NO they wont fit as standard !! if you get some wheel spacer they will
GTE 3 spoke = 4 j x14
Cav steel wheel = 4.5 j x14
hope this helps !!

im not saying they wont fit under the 14" its the width you need to worry about !!!!!!!!! back in 97 i had these wheels on with a 47.5 offset and they scrubbed the caliper ! thats when i was using the old GTE delco brake set up !!!!! with ATE the caliper sits out further !

[phazer]

wait till you put new pads in mofo

lol Your info was wrong and posted just below a picture contradicting it all - it was funny. No need to get arsey :roll:

Besides I'm the happy owner of some butchered 256's that just fit under my speedlines.

[phazer]

Blimey over 30, crikey that must mean you have to act old then lol




p.s I'm 32 :thumb:

[beggsy]

gte wheels are 5J 14" with 47.5 offset as shows in the picture danny posted. look at the writing between the wheel nut holes. mine are also the same as i have just checked so the brakes should fit under them. but feel free to correct me if in wrong.

[L33 LEG]

I had those wheels fitted to my old corsa mate to transport it and they caught on the brakes. Im sure it will just need the caliper grinding down a bit though.

Look at the reply above this lol The wheels i sold you, ie. the ones you are referring to, have been tested if they fit or not over the brakes.

I had to move my corsa from my unit to my new house years ago and had it sat there with the gsi wheels on. It wouldnt move so i had to put some bigger steelies on the front.

GSi on the back, Steelie on the front :wtf:

Up. lol

[7ova]

:tumble:

am i correct in thinking?????????????


256 discs and calipers will fit, BUT only if the pads
are half worn, if the pads are new they catch
on the alloy?????????????????

[John]

use the 256x20 mm set up off corsa sports. The wider 24mm disc set up won't fit.

[beggsy]

cheers for everyones help. so i should get corsa sport bakes as they will fit no problem?

[Danny s-p]

use the 256x20 mm set up off corsa sports. The wider 24mm disc set up won't fit.just found out these are what am using but off a tigra 1.6 and they work just as good al 2L brake's :thumb:
