16" 104 Wheels on 2003 3.0i ?
Hi, Anyone know if these fit OK and clear the brakes ? Thinking of getting 4 and fitting winter tyres. After the horse has bolted of course but handy for next year !

I beleive that 17's are the minimum you'll get over the 300mm dia 3.0 Disc.
You may get 16's on a 2.5 as that has a smaller 286mm disc

I think you are correct 16s won't clear the bigger brakes.

16'' wheels do fit over the 300mm front discs on 3.0i's.
It's the 3.0 si's with the larger 325mm front discs that need 17'' wheels.

Had 104's on mine for a winter. Fit fine with all pre-facelift Zeds.
