well they are not 308mm they are 288mm v6 brakes same as mine, 308mm brakes fit behind 16" alloys and upwards and i wouldnt buy v6 288mm brakes there crap and spongy with loads of pedal travel
my 288's were like that too, thought it was trapped air at first but even after bleeding them it was never any better and they were brand new 
same here, there just crap on corsa's, id go for 256mm brakes off a 2 litre they work fine

Don't agree with the 308s clearing!
I have 292mm discs on mine, using calipers that are smaller than the V6 Calipers (1.6 Corsa ones) and they physically touched the rim on my old Cesaros...

running calipers stupidly close is stupid, and dangerous, iv seen wheels lock and accidents caused on track because of stones getting lodged between wheel and caliper

308s won't fit under 15s.
288s are tight to the wheel like that pic.

vectra 2.5 v6 or you can buy the kit off lmf or go to vauxhall and buy the discs and pads and the discs will need redrilled to 4 stud and get 2nd hand calipers and carriers and you will need spigot rings also

Phillips, are you getting confused with Calipers?
They use the same calipers for the 308s as they do for 288s
A mate had 308s on his Cav Turbo and they barely cleared the standard Cav T 16" Wheels...

Turbo calipers are far better than V6 calipers.They have a smaller piston and don't give that spongey feel like V6 calipers.They bite as soon as you touch the pedal.

I had the LMF 288mm kit on my v6 and they didn't feel spongy at all. Maybe I was just lucky?
