Im considering getting some cesaro's for the turbo, which currently has V6 Brakes up front, I have seen on here that 15" Cesaro Alloys would fit over but would be a tight fit.
But some people have said I shouldn't do it as the brakes would run too close to the rim but I don't see why this would be a problem if they don't touch.
Anyone able to lend some advice?
Cheers

Naff all room:
With a little grinder action, et voila:
I have had those on since March this year, and have had no problems at all with them being so close to the rim.
Only thing to remember is that wheel weights have to be the clip on type on the rim, not the stick on type as there is no room for them at all.
I am using Vectra V6 callipers, but have heard that Cally and Cavvy callipers are slightly smaller, hence the picture above.

Can you get away with stick on weights with the cally/cav V6 brakes then?

Are yours deffo cally/cav breaks? Il go for redtop ones as those weights that go on the lip will ruin my powdercoat on the alloys
