just got my first nova today!

it is lowered on coilies but the only problem is the tyres on the steelies are too big and scrape massivly when i turn.

so was just wondering if anyone would maybe want to swap for some smaller ones that i can put on my car so it dont have massive scraping problems.

the tyres that are on mine atm are either 175/60/13 or 175/70/13

cheers guys :D

i have a funny feeling that 145r13's would rub too, just how low is it riding?

erm it is quite low at the front. just i dont want to spend out loads of money getting lower profile tyres for the steels if i can just find some for cheap as a whole. maybe like 175/50/13? if the exist?

175/50/14 would be taller than the 13's. you could put a post in tech asking about steering rack stops, people have fitted them before to stop this problem, ok its harder to turn sharp, but it stops the rubbing
