Would the clio williams wheels below fit a nova without modifying?

Look at the offset, if it matches the Nova wheels like et49 etc then yes.

Renaults are 4x100 but et33ish IIRC, so possibly but not easily

baxter had the clio valver turbines fitted before iirc,
i think with a little arch work they would fit

I've just had a look around and they seem to be et38? I am no good with wheels so would these fit... and what is the offset for nova wheels anyway?

Novas are ET49. 38 is looooong way off. I've seen ET42 fitted to Novas in the past but it needs some proper messing about, it'll handle poo and eat wheel bearings for fun.

Offset for novas is et49 so the et38's will stick out abit,
i have never tried fitting et38 so i couldnt tell you if they fit or not.
But i rekon with a bit of an arch roll and some loww profile tyres they will fit ....... maybe
^edit... ignore me lol

could you not get them machined to et 49?

Wouldn't fancy taking 16mm off the hub of a wheel - you'll pretty much remove all of the strength if not go through the hub entirely.

I had et38 wheels on my old hatchback (OZ Exclusives, believe they were 15x6.5). No problem with wheel bearings in the 5 or so years I owned it. -60ish mm on spax adjustables and needed the rear arches rolled.

They should fit. I had Clio/19 16v alloys on my last Nova...

They rubbed on the front arches slightly. Was lowered 60mm.

They can't be ET33 they don't stick out far enough???

Edit: Just has look Clio wheels go from 33-38, so I suppose 38 but still. Couldn't see them fitting on mine. Had to do both rear arches for the speedlines.
