Can I get 13" wheels to fit over my standard 16v brakes?

Cheers, Dan

Never tried it, but from what i've read you need 14" rims to clear the 256mm 16v brakes  :smiley:

14" steels should fit over the standard 256mm brakes, but you won't get anything smaller over them.

Definitely need 15" VW alloys or VW steels to get over 280mm brakes.
