ET25 on a nova?

[Novaload_Nick]

So... ET25..15 inch rim, 7 inch width... On a nova? Possible?
And is it possible to change the offset by machining the face of the wheel where it sits on the hub?
Any help appreciated :thumb:

Errrrr depends how much you like it to stick out lol

You could machine it down, if there's enough metal there to do it without compromising the centre/mounting face of the wheel. I guess you'd be wanting to take about 10mm off though, thats quite a lot...

Yeah think ET25 is just to much to be able to play with

Saloon or hatch? Either way they are going to stick quite out quite a bit. I take it you want the "stanced" look?

[Novaload_Nick]

Hatch, would probably be do-able on a loon, just found some amazing wheels that I like the look of but they are kind of VW spec, not sure wether to risk it

years ago i fitted et20 wheels to my nova hatch, think they stuck out about an inch past the arch. to sort the problem i wide arched it. lol.

i briefly had some et30(ish) 7j rfxs on my mk1 and the rim lip sat parallel with the rear arch lip, if that helps

They will fit a saloon fine, but not a chance on a hatch.. Unless you fit loon/5 door arches..

Mine are et28 7j wide in my loon and they just catch with 165/50/15 tyres,

Would be too much work I'm sacking it off lol
