they will need a min of 17" wheels to fit under properly and also poss some spacing/caliper bracket making out of the caliper to fit over focus RS disks, as they are the same as focus RS calipers just prob with a diff offset to suit the fiat.

they can JUST fit under 16" wheels but they need little bits trimming off, excursion did this with focus RS ones so if you have a look on his site you can see what he did to fit them.

there the same ones as on 406 coupes. it's not just the diameter to worry about, its the clearance to the spokes / wheel face.

Its a minimum 16inch wheel when the conversion is done to a xsara / 306, but that said not all 16" wheels clear them either.

also the distance that a Brembo caliper protrudes from the caliper mounting face on the hub is 111.5mm.

*edit - sorry this information might be useless think it is PSA specific.

the problem is the distance from the mounting face to the outer face of each design of caliper is different so you cant say yes or no without actually having tried to fit them yourself first on that type of wheel.

only way to know really is to try and fit them and see, if they didnt fit then you would get more than £100 back for them on ebay!

when you fit them to a 206 you need 17inch wheels and its tight if that's any help

the fiat coupe 20vt (what the brembos are off) runs 16's as standard. It's just the design of the wheel you gotta be carefull, cuz the shape of the spokes may get in the way of the brakes.
