the same as mine:

who has 15's over them?
As i want to fit some 15's to my corsa as they will be better for the track, also make my r888's cheaper

Im pretty sure Dave A used to have these over 15's.
needed crazy spacers and griding some off the calliper edges.
do 888's even come in 16"?..

yes, 195/50/16 and about 110 ish quid each unless you know where to get them for 80 odd.
i posted up some pics of someone on migweb that ground the calipers down to fit behind mo's. looked quite scary. also thing is, not all 15's will fit with them. mo's can fit bigger brakes behind them than most other 15's. its something i will be doing at some point. but it looks a fair bit of metal to grind off on some costly brakes. maybe better selling up and going for 288's of a wilwood varierty etc instead.

oh, theyre also a very square tyre so its not like your average 195. theyre actually a fair bit wider as there is more contact with the road. hence mine catch my arches yet normal 195's dont.

ATS DTC fit without grinding but et 38

had to run quite high so they didnt rub

My 16in callibra DTM wheels didnt fit over them, neither did et45 Pro race 1.2s. 16in Et45 Pro race 2s were fine though.

grind them or change them. its a 50-50 decision. or just get 195/50/16 r888's on another 2x 16" wheels. hence i have 6 speedlines. all of which i need to sell really.
