This might sound like a daft question, but what're the chances of getting some 13" wheels over the brakes on my 1.8 C?
Cheers

Thought that might be the answer
There isn't really loads of room between the caliper and the 16's as it is!

These were the 13's my 1.4 Sport came with 2 1/2 years ago... 
Saying that, there wasn't a lot of clearance over the OE 236mm Brakes...

Shame about that A bit weird that it just randomly started happening too.
That would be cool, especially when one of them is running
