256mm Calibra brakes

[TOZNOVA81]

Got 2.0l Calibra 256mm disks & calipers on front and my 16" speedlines are fouling the calipers, which I find odd seeing as my 14" SR steels fit over them no problem. have had to buy 7mm spacers to fit them, are there any other decent alternative vauxhall calipers I can use so I don't need spacers?
TIA

It sound like an ET(the off set) problem on your 16'' rims

Offset is fine ET49 speedline Alessio 2's
im baffled as I assume they should fit ��

They catch on the little lugs on the caliper which the pad retention springs locate against, carefully grind some of the edge away or fit 5mm wheel spacers. Common thing.

Be sure to leave enough of the lug behind to keep the spring in place. I'ts obvious when you get down on your knees & look.

I've had to do this a few times too, confused me the first time
