Vauxhall 308mm brakes fitting under a 15" compomotive MO5 wheel?

i've seen 300mm done before and the guy in compomotive HQ has just told me they will fit upto 315mm disks.

I have them under 16's atm.

Impossible?

would i have to go to four pots?

He's given me a cheeky trade price thats tempting me silly

Any help is appriceated

I do not have the wheels at the minute, and there were none on display in the showroom of size 15x7. only 13's,17's, and 18's.

Also, seeing as they are a popular wheel and brake choice, i thought i'd ask first

its more the fact of the caliper being only one one side (funny that) but although i could measure it and it fit, the caliper may catch?

just wondered the likelyhood of them fitting tbh

im pretty sure ive seen 308's under cesaro's before (15") on ckallis's gsi but i think he needed to grind the corners of the calliper off.

thanks for that, the odds are looking better.

Its not a massive problem if i have to swap for four pots, just a large cost inconvenience

No chance with the V6 caliper. If it was a 4 piston like a Wilwood or a HiSpec, you might get away with it, but there's hardly any room on an MO with a 288mm disc and a V6 caliper, definitely not 10-12mm clearance anyway.
