Hi everyone,i have got a nova diamond H reg and want to modfiy it a bit,nothing over the top just make it look a bit smarter.

heres what i plan

1.stick gsi bumper on there,(can get off mates old nova he dont want)
2.new exhaust box thingy
3. - and heres where i need some help - put 15" wolfrace alloys on

will the 15" alloys fit on without having to have the arches rolled? i hope so! i dont want to lower the car,just put the wheels on.will the wheels rub? 15" ers.??? at the moment i think the standard nova alloys on there are 14's. any help would be a realy great help
cheers ,mark

you need to know what the "et" or offset is.

That determins how far the wheels stick out (causing it catch the arch lip) or sit in (causing it to rub on your shocks).

There should be a stamp on the back .

Vauxhalls have an et rating of between 45-49.

This site will give you a full breakdown of the tyre - look at the bit about "inset and offset" - about 3/4 way down.
