Does anyone know if the 15" wheels below are safe to fit over 302mm T5 brakes? Is there a definitive thread on here about what fits? Can you tell from your chassis number if you have 302s?

Thanked 1,005 Times in 711 PostsI use a couple of 16" Perfo with Yokohama IceBreakers over my 302mm if ever I have to go in the snow. However, now I have the CR-V I don't suppose I will be using them much. That said, not quite ready to sell them on. I got a pair of the tyres secondhand for about £150.
Columba dont fit 302 even though they are 16". Perfo are perfect and cheapish as standard V70 T5 alloys, or just get some 17" Comets or similar - either that or retro fit the 280mm for the winter
I do have a spare set of brackets if needed for a modest sum. Probably the cheapest option.
As far as I know, all V70 P1 had 302mm (although I know the last time I said this someone disagreed - but it is easy enough to work out by running a piece of cord around the circumference of the disc and dividing the mm by 3.142 (aka Pi)
280 would have a circ of 880mm
302 would have a circ of 948mmLast edited by Flatout Phil; Wednesday 7th September 2011 at 22:54.
