will astra 16v brakes fit under my 14"GTE steel wheels - I know every one goes on about how they will no way fit under the usuall 3 spokes but they are actually thinner than my steels whichv have 175/65 tyres on them - can anyone help as it's much easier to type the question than going and sticking them on and having them not fit.

my m8 dicko used spacers on his 3 bar wheels and they fit ok then, but I probably wouldn't wanna use spacers personally... just find some wider wheels or some tigra 15" ones which look cool.

Cheers boys, guess I'll have to go back to my alloys that I was trying to leave off for the winter cos they got no tyres left and it's ?65 a corner!
