    Hub sizes

    they are the same and will fit yes, but there is 2 different bolt spacing, 52mm and 58mm, 52mm being used on early lower spec cars most of the time but theres no way to tell without measuring as ive saw 52mm poping up sometimes unexpected!

    Brake Query

    front brakes on 1.2 - 1.6 16v cars are over rated for the car anyway, dont forget that 260mm setup was used on the 150bhp clio williams back in the day! but to answer your question you will need, hubs, calipers, disks, pads and to fit these you need 2.0 suspension, and ARB lol. there may well...

    they respond well to breathing mods, then hit the brick wall for easy gains, the same with any N/A engine.

    General tire help for my 1.2

    i pay £49 fitted for 195/50/15 Exalto PE2's or Eagle F1's which is probably the best road tyres you could put on them for all round use. get 195's not 185's you pay much more for 185s because its a less common size but 195's fit no problem, and are wider so more grip!
