After following Steve940estate's excellent how to guide here (http://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showthread.php?t=157001), i've got myself a 302mm disc setup from a V70 ready to go on my car. Since i'd got a spare suspension strut lying around I thought I'd mock the brakes up on it and try all the wheels I could lay my hands on to see what fits.

So, for future reference:

Standard 15" steel wheel, doesn't fit.

Adhara 15" alloy wheel, doesn't fit.
No picture. One of these:

Galaxy 16", doesn't fit, the arch over the back of the calliper fouls the inside of the rim.

Auriga 16". Fits with plenty of room in all directions.

Aftermarket 16" alloy, of unknown (to me) make. Fits with plenty of room.
