as most no i have a 2door saloon with some artecs on would i be silly to get shot and run 9x14'' steels (most proberbly show use only) as i love the idea but 9j on a nova is extreme:d and i no its not most peoples cup of tea

cheers
stevie

this thread also needs pics!

[Plug]

yes then sell them me

[stevie-p]

have no pics atm but they are wide and are on 195 45 14's and ****e loads of stretch (maybe a dab too much)

[mayhem]

steve, i'd go for 7.5 front and 8j rears.. or 8j all around. that looks great on a saloon.

this is 7.5j on a saloon front

Staggered ET or tyre widths on FWD is so wrong.

[Edd]

^^^ totally agree, won't look good at all.

:roll:yeah, speedlines FTW

I'm glad you say its for show use. I really wouldnt want to be a Nova wheel bearing on 9J rims.
I would imagine the steering feel & tramlining would be utterly hideous too, so I deffo wouldnt do it.
But I'd love to see it & if you can get them on, loooking sweet & not have to butcher the arches, so that your tame, daily wheels still look neat.. ..DO IT!

is it bad on RWD lol

my bannded steels will be ready and on my sr/gt in 3 weeks will post pics up when done it will look awsome when finished trust me and i doo think that 9s are far to wide i went for 7.5 front and 8 rears on 14 inch steels :thumb:

[stevie-p]

im having second thoughts a 195 45 on a 9j rim with a 5 month old baby maybe a tad optimistic at this time i cant decide : l

[Graeme]

These are 9x14 of ww and I think they'll be too wide even for a saloon

guys.. i get the idea you all forget that banding steelies drops the offset down by inches..
brett: you need to butcher youre rear arches to make them fit ;)

if a wheel is 5j et49 and is banded to 9j, the offset is -52.6

[stevie-p]

there the ones graeme

[Graeme]

I wish you all the luck in the world but I'd personally think twice if I had to put my own 'nipper' in the car

[stevie-p]

as said as show wheels i could not use them for daily

[Connor]

i voted 'yes'
but 9j is a tad optimistic.
also.... wheres the 'burgo' option? lol

and no i wont have to butcher them dude i have allready planed this and also i have lots more stretch than yousual due to the tyresize i am youseing

and i am also a man of many talents :):thumb:

[mayhem]

brett, you have a negative ET now (if there oem vauxwheels)...
tyre size isnt going to fix that, or do you want 155 on a 8j?
7j et25 already catches in the arches (185-50-14 tyre)..

i hope you get away with it, but imo you need flared arches.

[Benn]

When they just stick right out, it just looks like "the first set of alloys i bought from Halfords"... Cause they don't fit at all and just look sh*te. I'm seeing this look more and more..

If they have a tiny bit or poke and good stance then they look good.

That Corsa just looks "i have no idea about fitment or offset"
