Normal arches - NO!

With plenty of arch work - YES!;)

I don't think they'll fit without serious arch work, check out Chrisnovaturbo's wip I think he has the same wheels

Even if you got it lower by -60mm it will still be very high with the overall height of the wheel tyre combo!

16's maximum for a Nova IMO

If you read chris' wip one of his arches have been tubbed to get these wheels to fit and iirc the other side needs doing a lot of work tbh and can't see it doin the handling any favours

Okey tell you what they will be cool on your nova IF you lower the rear so the sill can touch the floor AND the front sump can't clear speed humps.

If not forget it.
