Seen some 6J X 15 wheels for a vauxhall, didn't know whether they would fit with 195/50/15 tyres on.

thanks for your help

is the car lowered, and do you know the offset of the wheels? 6" wide should be ok though I'd have thought

Sorry, I don't know what you mean by offset, the tyres are as good as bought and I'm picking them up monday with wheels. The suspension is from a Nova GSI, not lowered apart from the standard height the GSi suspension gives, Cav SRI calipers & discs, 14" cav SRI steel rims.

these are the wheels

Offset is expressed as ET, which stands for the german Einpresstiefe... which literally translates as 'insertion depth' :o


Bear in mind having those 195/50/15 tyres on will put your speedo out a bit, although by how much would depend on someone telling me what standard nova tyres are... lol

I asked the seller if their wheels would fit with my tyres, they replied "NO,YOU WOULD NEED 195/45/15 TO FIT A NOVA."

:?: :?: :o

I guess, you lot know your novas, I'll risk it an give 'em a go!

The only difference between 195/45/15 and 195/50/15 is the height of the tyre

surely the only thing that could sang would be the wheel turning in the front arch then, I'm confused as the tyres I'm buying are on rims, I just prefer these others.
