195/50/15

[2.0va]

will 195/50/15 wheels and tyres fit under rear arch of nova sr \\\\/. it is lowered by 60mm. one of the rear wheels left hand rear seems to be rubbing on the wheel arch and the arches have been rolled.
dont know what offset the wheels are where do i find out what offset they are is it on the wheel somewhere? :?: :?:

[peester]

depends on the offset. and if theyre 6J x 15's; that'll help and 195/45 wud help too. but i think with it lowered doesn't matter about anything. [ala its crime fighting time] its arch grindin' time [/ala its crime fighting time!]

yes i am wierd. can't remember the cartoon series..

[2.0va]

well the set of wheels ive got 2 are 195/50/15
& 2 are 195/45/15 but on the nova they came off the 50s were on the back do u think id be better putting the 45s on the back ??
do u know where on the wheel i can find out what the offset is

[dunova]

195/45/15 tyres should have a flatter wall and help not rub on the archs. The offset should be printed on the inside rim of the wheel-it will read ET 40 or whatever it is. 45's on the back should help abit

[peester]

it might not be written on the back of the wheel as " ET 45" or ET whatever. it might just have numbers or codes which don't make any sense. only upon quoting those codes to the manufacturer they can find out /know what the offset is.

if its a mk1 nova i think ull have to grind the arches ne way

mine is lowere 60mm on cav gsi wheels 19\45\15 and i didnt need to grind but it is fuckin close

[Snowface]

urs is mk2 though epo, 2mm wider arches ain't they.

Looks like u'll be rolling those arches or grinding them.

[epo]

^^^^^
yeah ur right mines a mk2

The wheels are 7j thats what it says on the front behind alloy little centre cover...
Also it has 2.0 cav sri 130 engine with f16 box but it looks like they have smashed in a piece of the exhaust just after manifold so it would fit past anti roll bar and im sure this is restricting it a bit any ideas how to get round this????

[Gazza14SR]

7j wont fit. Well they will but your aches will be sittin on the tyres.

[robb]

They will fit!

I had some 205/45/16 7j on ET 35 lowered 40mm which rubbed with 4 people in but were fine without, and f*ck would they grip!!!!

I did grind the arches tho. Urs will fit if they are ET 38 or more. ET 49 would rub on the inside I would think. You are gonna roll those arches though no getting away from it unless you get ET49 195/45/15 6j wheels

[Gazza14SR]

i meant they wouldnt fit without arch mods.

[epo]

also 35mm offset will eat wheel bearings

[Cassie-Nova]

:? I have a set of 6Jx14 rims waiting to go on my car with an offset of 35mm.

They not any good to put on my car then?

[epo]

personally if it was me i wudnt like
