[chris_sri]

just wanting to know if these wheels will fit my nova? they are 205/40/17 et 38 7j. if not how can i make them fit? how do u flare the arches yourself also cause it looks like i might have to do that? thanks people! need to do this before i get the wheels on friday!!!

change the tyres to 195/40 and you may stand a bit more of a chance, You will have to roll the arches... Flareing isnt really needed unless you are running silly wide wheels or going uber low with silly wide, willy offset wheels.

You should be able to get them to fit provided you put some time to do the arches....

what wheels did you have when i got the air filter off you ? as am looking for some half decent alloys .

a 7" wide wheel is pretty wide for a nova, plus its 17" and 11mm out on the offset... Thats going to need some major arch bending to fit

haha ok what is the best way to sort out the lip and bend the arch out? i need to do it today when i finish work at 4 as im getting the 17's tonight:thumb:

good luck, i think it will need a hell of a lot of work

right folks got the wheels and they just catch slightly on the inner suspension but i think with a bit of work they will be fine. where should i start? should i try space them outwards? there is aload of room between arch and the tyre just not on the inside

[chris_sri]

got the wheels on with just a small bit of arch work. they look mint will get pics up soon!

Should have tried spacers if you had room dude, saves hacking up the arch.
Had anyone/thing in the back yet?
