GTE brakes will fit under 14" alloys that are 5.5J wide. Are your brakes the single plate ones or vented? if they are vented they'll do for a 1.6. non-vented ones shouldnt be allowed on cars. | |

If you dont mind getting your hands dirty you can pick up bigger brakes (astra's etc) from any scrappy for next to nothing. Discs n Pads aint that expensive either. | |

Also, 1.2 8v calipers will be crap 1 pot things.... and yeah, you wouldn't fit wider discs under them... | |
