[Nath]

whats :lol: for dave?? will they fit or not?

mayb not

[dave.gsi]

the offset is 65 and the offset on the tyres

do you even know what offset means?

[Adam]

The offset for a Nova is ET49, there is no offset for tyres. You need to get offset 49 or 48/50. Ideally 49 to create less problems
The offset is the distance from the wheel mounting place in relation to the centre line of the wheel, if that makes sense. It means how much the wheels will stick out from the arches. The lower the offset the wider out the wheel, if you go below 49 to like 39 then the wheels are going to be rubbing on the suspension and brake components, you say the wheels are ET65, an ET like that would pull the wheel right into your wheel arch, which is a mile off the normal ET. So i shouldn't think they would fit, they probably wouldn't even turn due to the grinding of the inside edge of the wheel on the arch.
Hope this helps

i dont know wheat im on about i dont mess with wheels. ohh fuck it then i will sell them!

[Nath]

any idea what car they will fit??

[Dpnova]

Fit nicely in the back of a rubish truck :lol:

[Nath]

lol thanx denny! ohh well someone mite want them. hopefully..

[dave.gsi]

i cant say i know of anything they fit. tbh ive never heard of a 65 offset. i thought it stopped at 50/55

[Nath]

wel perhaps there not 65 offset then i will go check today.

[Nath]

where can i tell on the wheel or tyre what the offset is??

[Adam]

It won't be on the tyre, it will be on the wheel, normally on the inside rim, it might be stamped in, or there could just be a sticker on them if they are new.

[epo]

if ur not sure why not pop em down 2 a local tyer place and ask em what offset they r

[Dpnova]

After my usless post about trashing them i did actually look for that offset and i couldnt find anything mate

[Nath]

right ive just had a look and theyve got an offset of 40. well i think anyway but the 4 seems to backwards? so any ideas what they will fit on??

[Nath]

ok and ive just tried one on my car and the wheel fits straight on. and i cannot see how its going to rub on anything. judt gotta get some low profile tyres now.
