I thing you'll run into huge problems trying to get a 9" rim in a standard Nova arch. are you wide arching?

ET15 on an E30 means major arch problems when fitting to a nova. i have either 6.5J or 7J and when someone tried to fit the same wheels to a 3dr...it had epic poke

isnt the 4x4 wide arched already?

i had et20 on my wide arched nova. filled the arches nicely. unsure what arches you have though.

look at dans wide arch on ronals (iirc) they are huge & zero offset i think

Correct, something like 9 10 in wide and 0 offset.

yeah the arches are NOT std in any way it is having the kit from ste porter on it so can go as wide as i like and offset wont matter at all so the more they stick out the better

i would expect it to be safer to get matching hubs and brakes.

as long as the original holes are filled in with correct inserts & decent loctite, then as long as the gm pcd & hub bore can be sorted it is ok. really, though, fitting wider suspension & reasonable wheels would be better, but try to avoid bernie & leepu wheel spacers

Ring compomotive and speak to them.

They do allsorts of special wheels etc.

Or, as your on a cav turbo rear end, go 5 stud and use hub adaptors tofit some mega wide VAG stuff?

Dans offset is a seeeecret, mainly because its stupidly simple maths (possibly on my sig site :p ) to actually work it out. He worked it out which needed fingers and toes so wont give it away to anyone lol


I'd sooner use glass wheels than get some redrilled :s thats asking for death.
