Wheel offset

[Chay84]

At the moment I'm running 16" speedlines which are rubbing ever so slightly, anyway I'm after a set of 15" wheels and have seen a set local that are 35 offset, will they fit?
Does anyone run this offset on there nova? I can't try them on because they have no tyres

Thanks

What is the offset of your 16's ??
And need to know the width of both sets!!
And which side are they rubbing?? Back edge of front wheel ie when turning or rear wheel inner edge or outside edge?

[Chay84]

The 16s are 6.5 wide and a 49 offset, rubbing on the front wings when going over bumps at speed, I'm sure the 15s are 6" Wide

ET35 will rub more than the Speedlines as they will stick out more. ET35 is the totally wrong offset for a Nova.

u need to roll your front arch lips am sure ive just fitted speedline to mine an its fine

[phazer]

What size tyres are you running, it's very unusual to catch the front wings with these wheels. They should be 195x45x16, the narrow shouldered the better.

[Chay84]

Running 194/45/16 there is about a 5mm spacer behind wheel tho so the wheel clears the coil over

What part of the coil over is it hitting? Maybe try a shorter spring and remove the spacer, I've never had a problem with speedlines on a hatch or saloon

[Chay84]

Yeah the spring, also not sure if wheel will clear the v6 brakes, its raining ATM or I would have been playing about with it, fingers crossed tommorrow is a better day
