You will need the arches rolled, do you know the ofset of the wheels?

The offset is the position of the wheel in terms of the arch.The higher the offset the more the wheel is pulled into the arch,if you get what i mean. With an offset of like 30 the wheel is pushed away from the inside,so sticks out more,
It makes sure that your wheel is gonna fit nicely between the brakes and arch.
The correct Nova offset is 49, try not to go below 45.
Too low offset means the wheel will hit the arch, to high and it will hit the suspension/brakes.
Hope you can understand my explanation.LOL
