yes the n/a 2.0 alloys will fit. Depends what tyres it has on also, as the calibras tend to have rather big profiles which might cause trouble with the nova an width

If your changing the shcoks too then go for 60mm. Or if its just lowering springs then 40mm maybe best. All depends how long your current suspension has been on the car.

cav or calibra wheels will fit, i nearly bought some calibra alloys for my nova and i was told there a straight swap

Cav/calibra wheels really do suit the nova especially in black and if you lower your car what you expect id rather take better handling and looks over comfert any day.
