they will fit with the et45-et50 5 spoke MO wheels as long as they are in a 6, 6.6 or 7" width.
the measurement you need inside the wheel from the centrepoint to the lip on the inside of the spoke is around 172mm or more. mine have 170mm so I needed to remove a bit of metal from the calliper.
the et45 mo's have the flat spoke (like mine) and if they are above et45 they will have the dished spoke like Ants.

Id like someone who has my actual wheels to try them over different size brakes all I know is there was bob hope of the 300mm hi specs fitting. which is the new/old design robin?

so do the dished have as good clearence dave? as it was the distance out to the spoke that gave the issue with the hi-specs mine are 6" by the way.

yes, they have a 175mm clearance and lots of room to the spoke, I sent a complete tech drawing of my brakes to compomotive to confirm that they would fit. was going to get the same as yours unil these came up for sale

I was told when I ordered mine (dished, new style) directly from Compomotive that the design had changed to allow more clearance for 4 pots, after Martin at Reyland discussed it with them...
Maybe only the Reylands fit

well thats true for all et45+ offsets rob, they are now ALL dished.
if you get et45's like mine you get a flat spoke, which I prefer

If I'd known that at the time, I would have ordered ET45, not 49.

I liked it with the morrettes on as well but I sold them, only reason I had the morrettes was for cool air to the tb's but i dont have that problem anymore.
as for the 4 pots, I have now tried lots. my hispecs were good but had silly amounts of pedal travel, willwoods were wank compared to the hispecs and the reylands are just stunning. trust me mark, get some reylands theres virtually no pedal travel, come with great pads as standard, immense braking power and fit under (some) 15's.
getting some compbrake 300mm ones in this week as well, will let you know how I get on with those they are supposed to be fantastic

i have only heard good things about wilwoods dhdev ran them on his nova at brands and iv been told he was outbraking everything, and to be honest pedal travel will be more related to the ratio between piston bore and m/c something a pedal box should soon sort out.

yes, you do need to match the MC size to the piston size but willwood dont do a small enough piston to match the corsas MC.
