Any 14"s over 6.5" wide will do.

I have a few setups if you want some.

make sure you get the sliders as well! I bought some calipers thinking I was getting the full set - but didnt. Got everything else though!

Also - might wanna get braided hoses and if yer car's lower than a GTE/GSi a bigger master cylinger/servo unit - straight swap but will stop your foot travelling to the floor as you hit the brake.

There is no fixed way of saying which wheels will go over the 256mm calipers, it all boils down to the design of the spokes and offset etc.

The 'general' rule is 'most' 14"s but not standard Nova gte/gsi etc 3 spokes.

But my 5J 14s wouldn't.
