  • Anyone got a 2.8v6 elite

    As above wondered if anyone has or has had one of these and if they have did they have 18 inch wheels? Looking at old brochure and know the elites came with 18 and 19 inch wheels but not sure if that included that engine. I am waiting on my brother in law to fit the bigger front brakes from one to mine and have seen some 18" wheels I want to buy as winters but need to know the wheels will fit ok over the bigger calipers.

        18" was standard, 19" was optional.

        Mine's on the standard 18" ten-twin-spoke design (245/45 R18). I think they suit the car better than other sizes or designs.

              I haven't looked at the calipers, but 'by eye', the front and rear discs on mine look to be about that size.
              However, they don't have the stopping power of VXR brakes. The 2.8T is a very heavy car.
