Kyle is taking my speedlines and putting his softstars on my car.
Problem is the softstars wont fit over my front brakes.
His dad is bringing over some steelies in a wee while to try but they are 13", will these fit? If not what will?
The brakes are 4pots, discs are huge!
Will I have to stick with 15s?

Standard steelies wouldnt go over a Cav front upgrade or my v6 fronts so i'd say no to 4pots.

Doubt it tbh. The reason the 13's wont fit has nothing to do with the shape of the inside rim, it's only because of the diameter of the discs and the size of the 4pots

Karren what brakes is the Corsa running? If its 16v calipers then your going to need 14 inch wheels minimum. As sometimes Speedlines have to be spaced out to get the clearence on these calipers.

Howvere if you running four pots (which could be likely as its quite tuned) then your best of leaving the speedlines on there as you will only have to buy some new wheels

haha straight to the point eh Rob.

15 is your minimum and even that's gonna be tight. Steelies are a definite no.
