My 345s will fit under a 17 - they'll also fit under a 16 and possibly a 15.....
It's the issue with the back of the wheel hitting the face of the caliper and you'll get that with a lot of alloys with positive ETs and some dish - it's not solely about the dish so there's another to watch out for.
The merc calipers are much more compact and better looking - the sharan caliper is nasty.
Hmmmmm - could you run a standard caliper with 345/330 discs and just an adaptor plate....that'd be cheap and easy diy.......
That's right, when i refurbed my wheels i put the 17" audi wheels on temporary and i noticed ther scraped the caliper. But ther been on the van when i bought her. Because i put new pads in the caliper moved out. Just enough to scratch the paint.the 19" just got 2mm
Got to be careful as the lower bell height can push the caliper towards the rear of the wheel centre
Oh and the google image is not a great example - if you are fortunate to have that nice 0 offset between mountings you should run two thinner plates (one each side of the mounting) rather than one thick one plate.
Can you explain both comments please Reg? [emoji848]
It was a great van but an Auto [emoji54].
Got to find the modified version pics ... yet!

Looks lovely that Rob, What's wrong with the auto boxes? Are they weak and unreliable then, I had the chance to pick up a maroon short nose caravelle on a 1993 L plate, the guy only wanted £1100 but it put me off having the auto box in it !
