brakes under astra gte teardrops.

[beggsy]

what are the biggest brakes that fit under these wheels? Thanks.

[nova_stee]

256mm the standard 16v brakes

[thegingerwhinger]

256mm set up?? astra gte stuff

[moffat]

aye 256mm my mate had them wheels on his nova saloon with they brakes

I read on here before (or perhaps in TV) that there are 2 castings of that wheel. The early ones don't fit over 256mm discs. I think thats because the 1.8 Astra GTE had smaller brakes. Check it 1st mate, but most remaining teardrop allys are going to be the larger type.

i've heard of it with the teardrop allopys before aswell. someone told me that the alloys from their early 1800 gte didnt fit over the 256 setup. could be rubbish but dont see why he would lie.
