No they dont fit!!!

We put them on a friends corsa, and had to space the wheels out 8mm.

This may be differant on a corsa.

But they catch like a barstard!

Exactly

So thats one vote yes, one vote no... anyone know for certain, i.e. has anyone tried it on a Nova?

Jack, they do fit. I had them on my old Nova.

You cant have any weights on the inside of the wheel.

They catch the caliper.

They look like this with Cesaros.

I have some pics on slabs, but for obvious reasons you cant see them.

I stick by the "They dont fit"

Our didnt, but they were brand new disks and pads, once the pads wear down to half they fit fine:thumb:
