many thanks Chris.
I am asking because i want to do a bremo brake conversion to my marea 20v. I have Alfa 5spke speedlines fitted which are 215 45 r16. Could anyone shed some expertise on whether they would fit over the caliper or would i need spacers? Ny other info would also be appreciated.

does anyone with a 20vt live local to me (guildford) and be kind enough to let me try one of my wheels on there car? would help a lot

205 ?

Nah I've got 225's on mine although that could have been the choice of the previous owner :chin:

Diameter wise you will be OK it depends what offset your Alfa wheels are.

looking on google it looks like the ET is 42.

I'm not 100% (without looking at my wheels again):-

4 x 98 ET35/ET40, offset 35mm or 40mm

The WHEEL size on all variants of 20VTs is 7J x 16

The TYRE size is either 205/50 16 or 225/45 16, depending on the model

Just because another wheel has the same offset does not mean it will fit over the Brembo calipers. The spoke design is critical (the 20VT alloys have an outward bend to the spokes in order to clear the Brembos)

The only way to be sure is to try a wheel on the hub

this is what I'd like to do. If there's a kind soul out there who'd let me it would be much appreciated

You can always use spacers if they clash a little.
