i really cannot decide between them i like the ronals as there polished but i also like the style of the th's :confused: desicions
Ronal turbos only come in et 38 and 27. So they wont fit, although you need spacers to use Th monos anyway.

Thats it 37 sorry, still wont fit.
I have some turbines mate, search some of my old threads for pics. Tried them on but lowered 60 and with 195/45 on the turbines they wouldnt fit in the rear arches, with 165's i think they will though.

Im a bit gutted that i carnt have these wheels is there no way i can have them?
i do remeber seeing a red nova belonging to a police officeron here and he was selling up with a set of black wheels does anybody remeber what wheels these are?
1. Use the search
2. Get some imagination
3. Do some research

3. Do some research
Some may argue that jumping to the last step 1st makes more sence
GRUMPY F*CK :p
Meh
Sick of the same old threads
I suppose points 1 and 3 could be amalgamated in to a new point 4. FOAD?! LOL

Yes.
What offset are novas-and what will fit?
What do you mean what offset are Nova's? What you mean is whats ideal for a Nova, ET49 is the correct offset for a Nova, but a maximum of 6.5J if you want to get under your rear arches. People sometimes use a lower offset on a saloon to fill the arches, also you can run 7J+ with it being a saloon the arches are rounded and give more room to play with. I'm not saying that you can't get 7J's to fit but will need serious modding to arches like pics below. I know there not 7J but you get the idea.

Would the top wheels fit my car then? it soesnt say the offset but they are th's
No even if you get Et49 they still will hit the inner arch at the rear and TCA at the front, i know this because i tried this last week. :thumb:
They Dont Fecking Fit!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If they are 4x100 then they will fit, but being a lower offset they WILL scrub the arches without major work..
if you want them, just mod youre arches.

if you want them, just mod youre arches.
like the blue on ein maz's pic has or would i just get away with rolling them:confused: -im new on all this wheel stuff
depends.. how much are you lowerd?
if youre not lowerd that much, you'd could get away with rolling them and use a 175-50-15 tyre. but you wont fill the arches like rexy's.
this is my nova with 14 inch 7j et 25. yokohame 185-50-14 tyres.
i tested, and i can fit a 15 inch, 7j et38 with a 205-50-15 tyre without scrubbing the arches.

you need to paint it afterwards, as i wanted the wheel to go into the arch.
in my case that wasnt a problem, as i was going for a full respray afterwards.
ET37 means the wheels would stick out another 12mm than ET49 wheels, so thats roughly what you'll need to clear them. You'll probably find you will need more clearance on one side than the other as the rear axle isn't normally square.
