Standard calipers can't catch on 16" wheels, 2.0 calipers shouldn't do either. Are you sure its the brakes and not anything else.
And what model Nova have you got.

id check the dust guards on the front brakes, there easily caught when messin on with the wheels and if they make contact with the brake will screech during use and more ften than not when just driving along
