ET range?

[poultergeist]

What is the max and min ET of wheels I can fit on a Nova Saloon?

[craig green]

size?

[General Baxter]

i had ET10 on mine on a 16" rim with 50profile tyres,

my god it handled **** lol

[craig green]

I wouldnt choose anything outside of 45-49mm. Arch scrubbing & tramlining will annoy the pants off you.

im on et 33 on a 6j rim atm not a problem et 38 and 7j on a 195 50 was inline with the arch

[poultergeist]

16 inch
they are et50?

[craig green]

et50 is OIK, thats sticks in 1mm ore than et49. However, you need to make sure they will clear the brake calipers or shocks etc with the tyres on.

[poultergeist]

they have 205/55 on at the mo,but I was thinking of going lower profile?

[Adam]

205/55 are way too big

[stevie-p]

on what offset and size?

[craig green]

et50 x 16". No width given. My guess 6J.

MINI wheels by chance?

[poultergeist]

Renault

[General Baxter]

et50 x 16". No width given. My guess 6J.

MINI wheels by chance?

[poultergeist]

What we reckon then peeps,the'll fit if I fit lower profile tires?

[Rysee]

Mine are ET33 6J with 185/55/14's, not too bad at 60mm but I had a tiny bit of scrubbing with 2 fat people in the back. Nowhere near as bad as my old hatch with 195/45/15's on at ET45 with nobody in the back though

[poultergeist]

Will 215/40 or 205/45 be ok?

[craig green]

Those BBS's wouldnt go on a 3dr.

[poultergeist]

Eh?

[Mike]

ET38 is what you want. Handles soooo much better then anything ET40+ IMHO.

[Benn]

Why do you want tyres that big? They are Cav sized.

Think 195/45 size.

[Rysee]

I've lowered mine as far as they go on the Coilovers today and I'm finding my drivers side wind a tad close to the tyre if you want to go low low stay above 40
