I'm after a new set of either 16" or 17" wheels for the Corsa which has 300mm brakes with 4 pot calipers. Anyone know what alloys will clear them . Really like the Compomotive MO's, will they fit???
Cheers

15's clear 288mm I believe so 16's would be tight, better off with 17's but not 100% sure

You're going to need at least 17" mate.

no 16's with 300mm discs are tight but will be fine, only prob is as you say how close the spokes come in, i know speedlines are a bad choice...

same old prob i had chris, hunting for the right rims to clear my 300mm, got them in the end as you know mate. the lads down at wheels base will let you try all sorts of wheels untill one you like fits. no extra charge. i was there all day with mine haha. you are limited with 16" as to what clears them and i would stick with 16" if you can to cope with better handling with the v6 lump your running. and i know it is a beast hahaha.
