can anyone point in the right direction on some sort or guide to wheels for the nova, i dont quiet understand the offset part..

Correct me if im wrong nova wheels are, PCD - 100, ET - 49 the wheels i want are not made in a 49 so whats the lowest offset ? i can fit.?

Offset depends on the width

7" even at ET49 is a struggle i believe

it will be tight (you would get away with that on a saloon) and if your running 888 they wont fit at all

My point was even at the correct offset they rub on the coilover and the arch iirc, simply based on a set of 7" TH's that were sold a while ago, there was a big discussion about whether they actually fit or not lol

hey mate :) i borrowed a set of tsw hocks, they were 7" wide and didnt rub, dont know the offset... but my cav slabs rub like fook in the rear arches with 888's on!

also the 888's hit the coilover on the front so wider wings and spacers on order now lol

If you're getting wider arches you can just run a higher offset though... Stuart has an offset calculator in his sig
