Iv just got some 300mm Hi spec billet 4 brake kit on my corsa B. Im sure iv seen these on 15" rims before but they dont fit my vauxhal 15's unfortunatley. The caliper fouls the rim. Does anyone know if these fit on 15" compromotives? what width? 6.5 or does it have to be 7"? Or what other wheels do they fit on in 15"?
cheers

if you take some measurements of the brake setup Then I have a system that will tell me what wheels will fit.
However, I will need to find the diagrams to show you how to measure the brakes

i have had v6 brakes under 15" mo's but there very tight, but i no for a fact hi spec will not fit under mo's as thats what i upgraded too a couple of years ago on my nova and they wouldnt fit, mine were 7j with 5mm spaces and still wouldnt go, so i went back to v6 brakes and sold the hi specs.

you have them because of the shape of the spokes on comps, they go out and come back in, plus reylands dont tend to be as bulky as hi specs.

Don't talk shit.
They are on there because there is a seperate bell and disc, meaning you can inset it. You wouldn't get away with it on everyday wheels or brakes. It is inset for a reason.
If as you claim, Comps are the wheel of choice for clearance, can you explain why I need spacers? Only if you refer to my point about insetting the discs...

yes but if you compare wheels comps spokes stick out then come back in, but on other wheels the spokes are straight and if you look how close the calliper is to the spokes on the comps theres no chance they would go behind flat spoke wheels, so.... im not talking shit im talking from experiance and using my common sense which you seem to lack, you can clearly see what im trying to say in the above picture. mr no it all!
