Right i will be looking at getting some compomotive Mo's just wandering what size would be best on a nova?

Anyone recommend a size off here (http://www.comp.co.uk/wheels/wheels.asp?range=MO5_0005) for me

I prefer the look of the 5.5 x 14 or the 8 x 15(guess there to wide thou) as the spokes are less curved well thats what it looks like on the Compo site.

What will be the biggest brakes i could fit under the 14" thou?

You will easily get 16v discs & calipers under 14's.

My advice is contact Compomotive direct & request a picture of the spoke type in the size/offset combo you require. Compomotive know there is a difference in spoke type & can advise what you will get.

I would have 6"x14" with a 185/55 tyre or 6" or 6.5"x15" in et49 with 195/45 or 185/55 tyre (6" width). Plenty of arch clearance then.

Right i will contact them tomorrow, would 280mm discs and calipers fit under 14's?

Think i might ask them for the 6.5 x 15 Et49 and see what spoke style it is.
