I use Fiat Coupé discs, they're 284mm but need the bolt holes drilling out by 1mm as the PCD is 98mm. You can also use 280mm Meriva (CDTi iirc?) discs.

[edit] Minimum 15" wheels of course.

They bolt straight on but you'll need to redrill the discs from 5 stud to 4 stud and a spigot ring (i have some spigot rings for sale)

With Meriva disc's youll only need a 1.5mm thick spiggot, if that!

Look in the articles section on the brakes, i fitted Vectra V6 Brakes onto my nova, calipers and discs were a straight fit, but i used Meriva 4 stud discs, i wrote in there the exact kind to use so have a read of that.
