I can say I do, not trying to have a moan at the guy but I notice a difference in how similair questions are answered in general chat and help zone. General chat is more full of 'i think it is' whereas help zone's usually a bit more 'it is'

Would be good to see more people using help zone tbh

It's typically the width of the caliper which gets in the way rather than the overall size of the conversion.

I have 4 pots under 15s with a 285mm disc, loads of room around the outside, less so between the caliper and the spokes. Not a Corsa but same principle. In fact it'll be worse on a Corsa because the offset is typically lower.

That wheel is a good choice though, certainly in your favour in terms of spoke design.

Hi-spec have diagrams on their website which give you all the measurements you need to either make a template or at least get an idea of how the brakes should sit inside the wheel

288's you should be fine diameter wise, as i have 308's behind 15 inch cesaro's but you'll need to check that the caliper wont catch on the spokes

Yes the 288 disc is not your issue.

Caliper size is the big one.
