Just picked up a full set of ad08r's for 150 brand new for the nova. Only thing is they're 205/50/15 anyone know if im gonna have dramas with the arches? It's a saloon so decent arches to start with not the little hatch ones. My wheels are et49 7j so can't see I being an issue, obviously it's lowered.

They should be fine. I get 205's on mine on a 7j ET37 and that's a hatch.

You may have issues with the fact yours are ET49 ironically - you could get some rubbage on the struts depending on what they are...

Gaz coiles, sure a 5mm spacer would cure any potential problems that may arise

Good comment by Will. Ride height and spring length will be an issue. I have to use 6" springs on the front. Rear is OK but that's turreted so can't help there.
