15" wheels and ST170 brakes
Anyone know of any 15" wheels that'll fit over ST170 brakes?

bit of a strange request as 15" will look like matchbox wheels in those huge arches, as 17s were std

They're for fitting snow tyres a couple of weeks a year and it's not an ST170.

I've seen it done on a Fiesta zetec s (with standard 15" wheels) but it needed angle grinding to the caliper...Something I'm not prepared to do.

You'll need to grind some clearence on the carriers regardless of what 15" wheels you fit unless they have a daft offset.

Most aftermarket 15s will fit no mods need on stock off set.

Far as I know it's Only Motorsport wheels that will clear, i tried a few after market ones and they didn't clear. I'm not sure if pro race 1.2's will clear the guy that I got the CXR's from said that won't

Ive made a video on tube showing that 15inch pro race wheels fly over St170 brakes.
