been looking on ebay, and noticed that some omegas come with 286mm and some with 296mm discs, can these be fitted to a corsa the same as the normal "v6" brakes or "gte" brakes that get fitted ???
im guessing u would need a minimum of a 16" wheel to fit over them like ??

You'd also need 5 stud hubs.

The calipers have a different spacing to the cav or vectra v6 calipers. so you would also need the omega 5stud hubs, but i dont think they will go right on either.
I looked into it a couple of years ago, Vectra v6 brakes are much easier

Not in my experience they don't - the 4x98 PCD bolt holes needed elongating as they were too tight to fit the wheel bolts through.

Ive had 2 sets from the same motorfactors both times. 1st set bolted straight up on my Mk3 Astra, no drilling required. 2nd set needed a tiny wee bore with a drill. Easier than buying 5 stud discs and having to drill the holes from the start anyway.

omega calipers are weird, as the offset is weird on the omega because its rwd the calipers just foul everything
