SR/i Steelies over 16v Brakes

[JonL]

I'm thinking of getting some SR/i 14" steelies for everyday use on my nova, but i'm not sure whether these will fit over 16v calipers.

Anyone got any experience/knowledge of this?

[mikey14sr]

any 14" steelies from an astra or cav will fit for definate, thats what I have on the astra.

[novadlimit]

the 14" steelies of the nova though will not fit over the calipers...I had one of em as a spare, got a front flat came to put the 14" wheel on and D'oh..Didn't fit..

What size are the steelies from the SR/SRi? my Cav ones are the older 14 x 5.5j with 13 big holes, these mean i can fit 195 55 x14 toyo t1 r tyres on :)

My black SR steel wheels wouldn't clear my 16v brakes.
They are 14" 5J IIRC.
You need 5.5J to fit without having to grind the caliper etc

the sri ones do fit over the 2lt brakes as do the gte ones, althought they are one in the same

Mine dont.

They probably would with worn discs and pads, but mine wouldn't fit with my new pads/discs.

[Philsutton]

are you sure they are sri steelies, had some on my mates to roll around on an they fitted perfect an that was with new pads an discs

[Adam]

These are the ones i have, if they are the ones you mean:-
I think there are two types, one 5j width, and the other 5.5J width. Mine are 5J, and rubbed the caliper when you tried to spin the wheel.

[Adam]

Those are the ones i was thinking of, any idea what model/year the 5.5js came on?

[Adam]

Im not sure there are two types, i think i read somewhere that there were tho.

[Ste L]

yea the sri steelies do fit, but you need the pads and disc's to be worn otherwise they wont fit

[Adam]

Which is why mine wouldn't fit then,LOl.

[Paul]
