Would 16 inch rims fit on a nova with un-modified arches?

[NovaBoi92]

getting sum new 16's soon. the tyres r 195/45/R16's. do i need to like roll the arches for them to fit nicely?

Possible but depends on width

[peester]

nah, 16's are a stretch too far on unrolled/untrimmed arches. At the back that is; fronts are fine..
Of course it depends on width and offset; need to be 5.5 or 6J wide and et49 offset. Or as close too. The further away - the further out the wheel will sit. The wider the wheel, closer/more it'll scrub the inner arches..
Then lowering?! if you lower it - it'll do all the above but in a bigger, harsher way. lol.
Ide just stick to 15's.
Performs, drives, feels much nicer on smaller wheels.

hmm the width is 195, i got 205 15's on there at the moment and that rubs agains all the suspention and back arches. so 10mm smaller should b better? i was gna roll the arches anyway. i read on the net that after uv rolled ur arches u get loads of problems. is that rite?

wot sort of problems its only bendin a metal lip u may have problems dependin on ur arches ie if they are rotten they will break rather then bend and paint some times cracks which will need touchin up at the least

I've had some comomotive 16s 6.5x16 under std arches

I had speedlines under standard arches no problems.

i had softstars and they caught with 195/45/16 tyres...

Danm spanish builds, if they are on 49mmet the most you'll need to do is roll the arches, but load get away with it, i have speedlines on mine with a 40mm drop and they where fine.
