Martins the best bloke to ask mate, he's got 378's under his 18's but there's another chap who's put them stoppers under a set of 20's.

On a saph you can just about squeeze 18's so if you've got a few quid to spend, and you'll need a few quid it's possible

Roosie has 380 under I think 17" revolution, but possibly they are 18", not terribly sure either way, with AP calipers 8 pots I think from a ex le mans car.

378 wont fit inside a 17" rim, they will fit inside an 8x18" Comp but it depends what offset the bells are... 2wd use offset bells and that helps a lot.

Must be 18's then, can't keep up with the way he changes bits/cars I know I was going to have the wheels, and won't use 18" so must have got the 17" mixed up he has the same style one in 18 one in 17.
