Just got back from powder coaters and fitted my new wheels to the nova, nightmare they are to wide.

Speedline turbines. 15"

195/45/15
Is their anything I can do??? Really like the wheels. Fitment is 100 pcd so that's ok. Is it worth having my rear arches rolled???


Or shall I sell them????? If so what are worth.


I will post pic up shortly.

Think so. But think they fit most most with the fitment. Only got them back from powder coaters today.

Presumably the tyres are rubbing ??

Roll the arches. What offset are they?

Need some nice wheel bolts and a center/dust caps.

ET38 on a hatch is never gonna be good... Roll your arches will help. Or get the offset machined a bit...

How wide are they?

Find a machinist and get the ET machined, Closer you ae the 49 the better. But iirc Mazz runs 7J on a ET 45.

They are also not called Speedline Turbines. They are Speedline Maracanna's.

I very much doubt you will ever get them to comfortably fit a Nova hatch.

'Clio Turbines' as found on the ph1 16v. If it helps.

A few people used to run the ph2 wheel. I don't know what butchery that required, if any.

Whatever people call them, quite like "cesaros", they have a name.

Yeah, the name you call them in probably the correct one.

I was just helping the lad out, if he didn't know what they were from, so he would have more luck with ET and fitment Googling etc.

Oh fair shout.

I have a set in my collection, pretty sure mine are 6 1/2j x 15 et38 too.

As already stated if its just a looker you might get away with a 165 tyre, but it will be a stretch and not very sensible. I tried one on the rear of my nova hatch with a 195/45 fitted and coundn't even let it fully off the jack.

Ok, think ill just sell them. Not to sure of the correct model of wheel, but they are made by speedline as its stamped on the wheel. Seen a couple of set of these on eBay by the name of speedline turbines.

When fitted they don't rub only under load they catch. Shame really as they are a good looking wheel.

Do you have the centre caps? If so the wheels will sell well. Refurbished ones with tyres occasionally fetch £300.

Have all 4 centres. Freshly powder coated this week. All tyres have very good tread.

You can always take some off the face of your rear disks, combined with having the inside of the wheels machined down.
