been looking on ebay, and noticed that some omegas come with 286mm and some with 296mm discs, can these be fitted to a corsa the same as the normal "v6" brakes or "gte" brakes that get fitted ???

im guessing u would need a minimum of a 16" wheel to fit over them like ??

You'd also need 5 stud hubs.

The calipers have a different spacing to the cav or vectra v6 calipers. so you would also need the omega 5stud hubs, but i dont think they will go right on either.

I looked into it a couple of years ago, Vectra v6 brakes are much easier

Not in my experience they don't - the 4x98 PCD bolt holes needed elongating as they were too tight to fit the wheel bolts through.

Ive had 2 sets from the same motorfactors both times. 1st set bolted straight up on my Mk3 Astra, no drilling required. 2nd set needed a tiny wee bore with a drill. Easier than buying 5 stud discs and having to drill the holes from the start anyway.
