bugger me thats a tight fit, its not impossible just may end up spending a long time with the file thats all, if you think about it its just 1cm either side of mine, so the calipe would be a cm closer to the wheels so yes very tight fit

Mine are 288's Alex, and needed a fair bit of 'reshaping' to get them to fit, work well though

No they're not. 256 maybe, there's no way they're 280somethings.

You'll get 308s under if they're in a Hi-Spec kit, V6 calipers and 308s won't go.

These are 256mm under 14's:



and the same brakes under 15's:



I agree with Robin, those aren't 285's for definite, they are 256's.

308's go on if they have seperate bells and a well spaced wheel, otherwise they wont.

I have 305mm discs with reyland 4pot calipers under 15's. ET49 offset. Comp MO's are the best wheels for brake clearance I found.
