dont ive got 17 on my other nova and its horable had lots of probs with it. wide arched it in the end lol

[~~joycey~~]

Yours must of been completly the wrong offset then because there are plenty of people on here with 17's that are fine.

the std offset of ET49 seems to work really well. 6" rims fit fine with that offset.

Oh right cos alot of people have said that et49 is best for 15's and et45 is the best for 17's?

[mowgli]

a difference of 4mm, but its clearance to the wings that gets tight first, and 4 mm could be too much.

is someone trying to sell you a set of et44's by any chance???

et44 was the offset on facelift mk3 (v grille) astras

rim/tyre width govern the offset to use... so sticking religiously to the original one for the nova isnt necessarily the right way to do it. see sig link for offset fun and games

Stu, your sig link has given me 404 errors or single pages for ages, is it something my end? because you still keep pointing it out to people lol

Best offset is...best left off lol IMO. 17's make Novas look like rollerskates.
