only certain 14's fit, i know when i was refurbing my wheels i borrowed some wheels of matt on here, and 2 14's wouldnt fit over them but the other 2 would.
Drivers side scrapped a touch on the caliper.

Is that because some 14inch alloys are bigger than other 14inch alloys Matt?

How big are 2.0 brakes because ive got some brakes of a 1.6 corsa sport and the caliper nearly touched my sport alloys , so I wouldn't think they would fit.

The radius is the same it's just the thickness of the 2LT is thicker than the 1.6
Could file the caliper a slight bit i guess......
