Don't think they will clear Meteors or Serpents for that matter.

Is there any members nearby with 190 brakes that'll let you try a meteor alloy on there car to see if it will clear the caliper.

In my time around these cars, and reading these forums the only wheel that fits comfortably is Mirage or those five spokes fitted to ZT 120 models.
