Astra GSI Wheels

[kent14sr]

Do Astra GSI fanblades need spacers for a nova or will they go straight on?

[valvercorsa]

straight on i would think mate, would have to remove tyres tho as gsi has 205's on as standard and nova's dont like fat tyres lol

[kent14sr]

:) yeah definately - what width tyres are best 195?

[valvercorsa]

i dunno mate i would be thinking 185 if you are lowered, i had 185 on my cav gsi rim's

[kent14sr]

Yeah that makes sense - got 185's on my astra gte wheels

Ive run vaux wheels (tigra pentalines) before with 195/45/15 tyres and they only ever scrubbed under very hard cornering or more than two slim to average people in the back!

That was dropped -60mm so i reckon you should be fine with that size tyre but to be safe 185 could be a good idea!

195/45/15's are a lot slimmer than 185/55/15's

I have Mk3 Astra GSi (Phase 2) alloys on my Nova with 195/50/15's and the front catches the wing on hard cornering and the back passenger one rubbed the inner arch/shocker so I'm running 3mm wheelspacers on the back now and it seems to be doing the job...

alright mate i have got fannblades on with 195 50 15s on 60mm springs fornt and rear, o but they did catch so i cut a little slits in inner arch and hit up with a hammer u cant tell now and they dont catch lol

ive had 205/50/15 tyres on my fanblades and didnt rub that was with a 60mm drop allround. they are close to the inner arches though.
