Are you meaning the Nova GSi breaks, or the larger Astra brakes?

The larger ones definitely won't fit under 13" wheels, and you'll need 14" minimum, but even the Nova 3-spokes can rub, so you have to grind the caliper (apparently).

The Nova GSi breaks may fit under your standard wheels, but it depends how wide the rims are.....the disks are 20mm thick instead of 10mm, so the break pad holding frame is wider (by 10mm - clever that!), so basically, if your wheels are too narrow, they mat rub on the calliper, but I'm not entirely sure.
