How do I know
If certain alloys will fit over 4 pot calipers, is there something I can measure. I dont have 4 pots yet so I cant try but do have a set lined up in a few weeks. Im getting some wheels sorted this weekend but want 4 pot compatible jobbies....

Just realised who you are Have you done my replacement scooby logo stickers yet? Small world
I'm not sure how you can measure. But the calipers will normally catch on the spokes rather than the rim.
The OEM 16x7in wheel comes with a 205/50x16 tyre. Wheel offset is 53mm.
Prodrive 17x7in wheels come with 205/45x17in Pirellis as they are their rally team sponsor. Wheel offset is 52mm. The tyre is nominally 0.8% larger circumference over OEM.
Most people fit 215/40x17 replacements as there is a much greater choice of good tyres in this size. It is nominally 1.2% smaller circumference.
A 215/45x17 tyre is nominally 2.3% larger circumference than 205/50x16.
