of course four pots will fit under standard rims...but the disc size would have to be small enough!

Thats new news to me, I've been told by several brake suppliers that they don't fit due to the crap design of the standard wheel. Comp brakes say they will fit 16" wheels but they don't.
How small do you have to go ??
Disk size isn't the issue but clearance between the caliper & the spokes of the wheel.

no mate, you were right, standard wheels don't fit UNLESS you add spacers to them

I can't remember the size of the dics, I think they are around 300mm. As for the calipers, they came with the car, so I don't know what model they are.
