Am I right in thinking the v6 calipers will match with both 256mm and 288mm discs? I do not think this is right but sellers seems to of listed like that?

Also would these calipers fir under corsa c sxi wheels (corsa b hub)

you need to be very careful with the 280mm discs

eventually the pads will touch and you will have no brakes. so make sure you change the discs and pads well before that happens

I'd rather have the extra 8mm and drill V6s/ turbos to suit tbh for all the extra hassle it is to have the correct discs.

Different design of wheels. Same reason some 15's dont clear them.

I reckon they do tbh, the black bit just on the edge of the spokes is where the wheel starts.
