Need to know the offset (ET) and the PCD.

DO you know what car they are from? Have you got the wheels there?

Upto 5.5J wide & assuming from a Cav/Astra (et49) will be fine, knowing from personal experience. Great size actually.

VW fitment is a nono. Offset is too low & they will catch the arches.

Get some steels or Cavalier wheels. ebay item# 280337356144

That means they have the correct PCD but the offset may be too low. VW wheels stick out more than vaux ones, and the Nova is particularly picky about this.

Yeah, but 14's would be swallowed under a widearch kit. You want at least 15's to stop it looking like a rollerskate lol

Wide arch kit?

You want some 4 stud E30 BMW fitment. I've read about a widearched Nova using that fiment in the past.

No idea lol

You would need to check the numbers on the wheels (Usualy in the centre on the front or rear, or somtimes around the outside of the rim)

Just buy the correct stud pattern wheels (4x100 PCD). Offset can be sorted to a certain extent with spacers.

Stud pattern isn't your problem. Offset is the problem. Nova's have a very high offset, and not much arch room at all. Unfortunately, not even spacers help because they can only be used to RAISE a wheels offest, not LOWER it.

You cant really go under ET45 if you keep your arches standard, and ET38 will be pretty much all you will get under if you grind ALL of the arch lip away.

Welcome to the world of Novas lol
