But it's an MC, versus you're chasing around in an MD... I think it's more likely that the bigger brake is an MD/MC difference rather than diesel/petrol. Base model MC started with a 16" wheel, but I believe with MD they start at 17" now?

Worth mentioning, I've never had the 16" wheel on the car myself... but the panel beaters certainly used it while my damaged front wheel was being reconditioned, and I didn't hear anything about it not fitting. But who knows? I just found that the factory road wheels don't fit in the spare wheel well, so it would surely be icing on the cake if the factory spare wheel doesn't fit on the axle...
