i went down to the scrapy and found a set 16s but that stick out past my arch on the back a bit so if i put disks on the back of the nova how much will it take the wheel in ? thanks :p

it won't take them in any further Ryan. The disk conversion still leaves you at roughly et49. Remember if you move the stub axles inwards the wheels and tyres are going to foul the inner arch. What wheels were they and what et? :)

No way are they ET35 if they're only 10mm short of clearing. or do you mean they sit 10mm OUTSIDE the arch?

Well don't moan on here about it.

Either buy them and mod the shell, or buy the right sized wheels.

7.5j is huge for a nova.

but if i put a wide arch kit on it it would look stupid because the wheels will sit away in because the wheels with standerd arches stick out less than 10mm lol

out of the arch by 7mm means they need to go in by about an inch, and at that point they will foul the inners.
