Default 16

I don't think 16's will do it, hard enough trying to fit big stoppers under 17's

MarkK had 330mm discs under 16" wheels IIRC. I may be wrong though.

315mm AP 4 pots will go under 15" wheels so 330's should.

I would imagine its down to the offset though

I have 17" MOs and 330 mm AP 4pots (CP5200) there is quite a bit of rim clearance, in fact i'm 100% sure you can get 356mm discs behind the 17's.

I'm sure you can fit 16" MOs over my brakes as well.

Christian does have 330mm brakes under 16" wheels but i seem to recall he had to modify the calipers a little to fit them behind his wheels.

Will have to ask him what difference there is between his wheels and a set of MO's and what he had to do to the calipers

The other thing people aren't taking into account is the actual calipers. I know my CP5200's will fit behind 16" Comp MO's. I can take pictures and measurements if they are needed.
