simply NO. lol

you will have to get the arches rolled. if you are going to buy some the try to buy them with an offset of et48 then its less work to get them on

BUT

if you've got a 5door nova

17's with the right offset will fit straight on :D

and only slight trimming for a -60mm drop :P

really how does that work then surely there is more room in 3 door arches

nah. as the 5dr arches are round they accomodate wheels better. they are also bigger.

5dr -60 on 17's
