   What size of disc are we talking ? Are they 4 or 6 piston calipers ? Depending on what these are you are probably looking at 15+

   These are one of the best to fit under a 14" wheel:

   they are a 4 piston caliper by Hispec, but they run on a peugeot 266mm disk. And so can easily fit under 14" wheels. I and a few others use them under 13" wheels.

   How big and what use will the car be put to? Standard Pug 266mm setup will happily go under 14" rims (even steelies). I have them on both my saxo and 106 and with decent pads and fluid they are more than adequate for fast road use and more. They are fairly heavy though.
