[GeorgePayne92]

Just wondering if you can fit 15 inch wheels on the front with it being lowered 80 mm ?

With standard mk2 hatch wings or the saloon/5dr round wings? With what width and fitment alloys and tyre sizes?

[ryansnova]

Mine's lowered 100m all around on standard 13" skinny wheels, the Camber it's created even on small wheels is noticable (probably around the 2 degrees negative mark).

[Connor]

2 degrees is what i want, whats your driveshaft angles like?

The tyres are 195/45/15 and.they will be standard mk1 wings

Not a particularly amazing photo, only one showing the right angle, and sorry about the state of the car, it's been off the road a bit as it's still not running.

You can "kind of" see the Camber in this. And how 100mm is actually tucking a 13" wheel under the rear arch ;) (My Avatar is out of date)

is it a sport ?lol

[MK1_Ben]

Nope, just the early bumper with the Sport flashes as I like the look of them :) (need to respray it as you can see, the winter took it's toll on the satin black paint).

[ryansnova]

you should get the stickers to go with it but sounds minted mate i always wanted a sport and wanted a rep but to bad i have a mk2 and the sport guys proberly wont like me making a rep lol

back to the 80mm springs lol

[L33 LEG]

I have 80mm springs on the front of my mk2 with standard arches. With 45 tyres it sits just below the arch by a few mm and because the springs are that stiff it will never catch. However, iv seen alot of novas down 80mm and they seem to sit lower than mine lol

[peester]

wheels will need to be et49 offset , no wider than 5.5 J i think.

[GeorgePayne92]

Fitted the 80mm springs this weekend, the front are fine, just the drivers rear rubs a little bit

[swedge]

mine is lowered 100mm and only rubs on 1 side at the rear slightly
