Just thought i should point this out as ive read a lot of info on multiple forums about 4 stud discs that will fit straight onto a corsa b when using vectra V6 calipers.
Apparently the meriva 1.8 front discs being 8mm smaller diameter isnt enough to cause a problem, and the pads dont overlap the disc....
WRONG! Pads overlap the disc at both inner and outer edges. So its back to the plan of redrilling some 5 stud discs 
Worth mentioning so other people dont end up in the same situation lol

hmmm strange, maybe its just down to the pads? Different pad manufacturers having slightly different size friction material?
Pads are EBC yellowstuff, they deffo overhang the disc!

the discs ive got have a small recess running round the inside of the friction surface aswell.
Guess i must just be unlucky if its fine for other peeps

mine are fine, the pads will eventually touch if they are left on for too long though
only real problem i have is that you have to push the disc up slightly to re fit a wheel
