[nans_nova]

Wot tyres do u guys run on ur novas with 15inch wheels I've got a set of astra sport steels on mine with 195/50/15 and they hit on the reat arches its been lowered 40mm

[mk1nova_rich]

Try 195/45s

[Connor]

rubbing with 195/50s on 40mm drop? would deffo go with 195/45's then.

[nans_nova]

Didn't really change profile as gearing seem to be good was looking at going for 185/50 or 175/50 just wanted to know wot other people run

[blue_peg_16v]

changing the width will change the profile slightly dependent on rim width anyway

[nans_nova]

The lip on drivers side rear arch just rub on the side wall of the tyre

[Connor]

roll the arches, or slightly persuade it with a heat gun and a soft mallet

[Paul]

195/50 = 97.5 high
195/45= 87.75 high

[Jack]

195/60 lol

[paddy quinn]

195/45

[Bubba]

195/50 = 97.5 high
195/45= 87.75 high

thats some hefty difference if its in mm

185s would give a 92.5 height

Always run 185/55r15 on compomotives never had any rubbing problems and was lowered about 80 mm and the Hight is the the same as 195/50r15

Close but a 185/55 is 101.75 high. Prefer a 195/50 over a 185/55.

[simonm]

I used to run 195s but found the car used to follow tracks in the road and pull around a bit that's why I opted for the 185 and made a good difference handling wise stayed straight and tru all the time

[nans_nova]

I think I'm just going to cut the arch lip away

[mk1nova_rich]

After you have just painted it?!

[nans_nova]

I know wish I had fitted the shocks and spring first it is only just wot other options have I got

[nans_nova]

No sweat :)

[Balley]

I tried 50s they rub all the time on -60mm springs so fitted 45s and it now does not touch at all!

[Dave.]

Roll the arches, 100X nicer than chopping the lip away, ive got rolled arches on my hatch and i was running 195/50/R15's at first, was fine on the back but scrubbed on the front wings over every single little bump, i went to 195/45/R15's and its much ebtter now :thumb:

195-45-15 on my comps lowered 100 mm but I have a saloon!!!! Lol
