depends on wheels, and size of disc.

i.e 330 yes

355, possilbly, yes on most motorsport wheels i.e mo's

378, generally no, but a few 18's can take these.

I bloody well hope so....!

The Ripley Monte wheels are designed by Paul to take a 6 Pot 380mm disc, but be warned this is for an Escos offset!

8x18 ET35 is the spec to go for on a Sapphire/3dr, if using Comp MO's then you will fit 362 6 pots inside without any problems. I can supply the wheels, brakes and tyres if needed.

If they are the ones above on the Maestro I think that the biggest the wheel was available in was a 17 inch mate, not 18

Dont buy 18s they will ruin the handeling and feel of the car, Also a important thing to ask is the weight of the wheel heavy ones again affect feel and handeling.
