    Because I started to fit 18s on my nova. And I also checked out some 19s tires, but the diameter was way to much.

    175/65 R14 = 58,3 cm diameter
    225/30 R18 = 59,2 cm diameter

    The "smallest" 19" tire I could found was 215/35 with 63,3 cm diameter.
    But maybe, they used another tire size? That's all...

    Not fussy about the fact that it will handle and look shockingly bad?!

    I read this thread actually thinking it was new. I am relieved to see its 8 years old

    Some of my answers must released by a moderator, but they didn't release them.
    Sadly, my pm's are also ignored.

    Is there no 18" and 19" nova alive anymore and could tell me his tire size?

    What are you whinging about not being released?

    No one fits stupid wheels to Novas anymore, so you will have to do the home work yourself.
    one thing is for sure, 19's tend to come in wide sizes which will be the real killer on a car only ever intended to have 14" skinny wheels.

    you can fit anything you want. if you chop the body so they fit.
    then the brakes look too small.
    and the suspension will not be very good...
