if you dont like taking passengers! or you wont be able to turn the wheel on full lock.
17 inch wheels with give worse acceleration due to the extra weight and diameter.
also will adversely effect your braking, and will ruin the handling.
ultimate corner speeds will be good, but they will react more violently to bumps in the road etc, handling and corner speed are NOT the same thing.
Top speed will be reduced as well, the bigger tyre contact patch causes more drag, only time they will icnrease your top speed is if your car is too low geared to begin with, which isnt a problem with novas generally, in fact, quite the opposite!
For example a 1.3 SR on 17" rims will be unable to use 5th gear at all to accelerate practically.

15s defo
I found that on my 1.2 15's were amazing on 195/45/15 dropped 60mm the handling was spot on and i noticed no difference in acceleration go for them. I also found fire stone were good tyres not brill in the wet but stuck to the road in dry and were pretty reliable
