	Cheers for that Rob! So basically, in theory, Corsa sport 14" rims should fit perfectly over astra GTE ATE callipers without problems. In fact, the brakes should fill the rim :D cheers mate Matt

	Found it Here quote: Before you can start you must have large enough wheels for the calipers to fit under them. The smallest size wheel you can have is 14in x 5.5in, nothing less than this. So if you've got SR 3-spokes, then forget it. The 16v brake conversion was carried out on a Nova GTE. :)

	Yeah think i remember reading on one of the nova sites (Topbuzz, novaload, roybacer etc) that you cant fit astra GTE disks to a nova with the standard three spoke alloys on, as there not wide enough to clear the calipers. Might be worth trying a corsa three spoke on? Mine are 5.5" wide if thats any help :)

	quote: Originally posted by and-m Probably arent wide enough this is what i am thinkin. a member of migweb told me that nova alloys were 5"-5.5", but corsa rims were 5.5"-6", and that they would fit. Can anyone back this up? thanks in advance Matt

I do this because it had a larger total diameter than my 13" steelie, and so would be a better option to use if one of my 16"s get a puncture etc. (better balance durin use) Yes, i am definately sure it is 14". Nova SR's, GTEs and GSi were fitted with 14" rims only, plus that is what is stated on the tyre. I believe the nova rim might be slightly narrower than corsa 14"s, but i am still unsure. Matt

	I recently tried fitting a standard nova SR alloy wheel on the front of my corsa, which is fitted with Astra GTE ATE callipers. It didnt fit at all, and was wondering why? Astra GTEs were fitted with 14"s as standard, so why doesnt a 14" rim fit my car?? Any help appreciated! Matt [Edited on 10-06-2003 by MattyB] [Edited on 10-06-2003 by MattyB]
