Corsa "B" Back Axle

[DW-Nova]

Hello all, i'm going to start getting a move on with my Nova project soon and have decided to wide arch the rear instead of replacing the back arches, this is obviously going to give me a much wider track to fill, am i right in thinking that a Corsa "B" back axle is just a wider variant of the Novas ? if so dose anybody know by how much? as obviously the wheels are going to be too far inset, i'm just thinking that this will be a better idea than using spacers, secondly do you think it's going to look ridiculous with 15" alloys and wide arches ? am i going to need to get some 17"s ?

Yes the corsa beam is sligtly wider but some people use Astra rear beams for wide arch kits.

With regards to the wheels 15" look fine if you run a much lower offset fills the arches fine.

there about 20mm wider iirc but im not sure if the mounting points are also further spaced out

They are yeah, there also used on Maxi Sport 106 Conversions :thumb:

The mounts are further apart than a nova, my mate bought a rear disked nova beam for his corsa b and it didn't fit

Looks like i'll space out the standard axle then hey, i'm thinking of using 17's for looks and 15's for actually driving it !
