After takin off the 17s that were on my nova, I've put a spare set of alloys on with 195/6015s on, and they rub on the front when getting close to full lock.
If I got a set of 15" MO's, with 195/50/15 bridgestones, would they catch atall?

cheers!:thumb:

To be honest I'm not really sure. It's pretty damn low anyway, i reckon 60-80mm.

50 profile tyres should be fine.

Is it common for the 60 profiles to rub?
Apparently -60mm its lowered, what the add said anyway.

60 is a high side wall profile hence the rubbing, as it is lowered 60mm.

Yeah 60 profile is quite high for a Nova. Best bet would be 195/45/15 or 195/50/15

So that 20mm is what's scrubbing then. Just double checkin' what'd be best to fit. Cheers lads :thumb:
