    Default alloys question

    firstly, my apologies, i am sure people have asked this over and over, but here its my go:

    Looking at some alloys for my newly purchased nova (after smashing the fcuk out of the last one!) but wondered if they would fit if i have a bit of arch work done, gotta have them cut out to get rid of the rot so why not do it all the same time

    they are PCD 100 17" with an offset of 38, i am thinking this is gonna be too much of a squeeze, whats your opinion?

    yeah i dont think they will go under willingly, have to have some work done to the arches.

    An offset of around ET45-49 will make things alot easier..

    et49 on a 7j wheel is too much, it'll catch on inner arches and shocks.

    Ideally.. <7 = et 49
    >7 = et 45
