You should fit the sr steels back on and fit 256x20 ate brakes

I like the revs too much to do that, the steels are going back on for the winter though. The only thing I'd ditch the revs for are comp turbos, borbet a's or bbs splits

if the arches are already rusty and your dead set of those wheels, maybe cut a section out of the arch, and fit an extension to give the rims the room they need.

a bit like this :

soz, mistook the word rolled for rusty.

in that case, not a lot you can do besides ride high.

205's on there ?

185's were so wide the wheel wouldn't spin lol, running 165/55/13s

they cant be 165's in that pic surely, they'd be stretched to hell lol, I wouldn't have thought they'd even fit on a 6" rim

it is but i can't be bothered to keep trying new tyres as it's too expensive

tell me about it, even cheap ones get you in trouble with your bank manager.

I reckon nova owners should get special rights :

- free 14 day rental of government allotted welders and sheet steel for our ongoing rott repairs.
- and a 30 day (1000 mile), unlimited size swaps of newly purchased tyres, because nothing seems to bloody fit on the rear arches !

heheh, you could be cheeky and take the 14 day free rental to knock up some mega wide rally arches, and trade in your 185's for some great big monsters for ultimate handling lol
