i was wondering what wheel spacers to use i was told not to use universal cos they cause wobble in the wheels, anyone know of specific wheel spacers for the nova and where to get them from

what wheels are u going to be using cos most are so tight on nova rear arches that you may have trouble on rears , and how wide a spacer do you want ?

Why are you spacing them? They fit fine.

If it is because they foul 16v or V6 brake calipers, shave off the lug on the caliper that holds the pad spring in. Did this myself, bought spacers but upon closer inspection, found you don't need them if you gently grind back the protrusion. :thumb:

You'll need to remove the dust cover, its not needed. Or hacksaw off the end of the cv (just a small bit.)
