hi.
the problem is as you will have guessed is that my nova is dropped 60mm and i want cav GSI 2000 alloys but they have 205 tyres on. Will they fit, or will work need to start on the arches? has anyone had the same setup?


Thanks Ben

205 will rub the damper.

Lol, i tried cav gsi rims on mine, with 205 tyres, they rubbed the rear damper and inner arch!

Dont forgot the cav wheels are et49 :wink:
So closer to inner arch/damper.

so you still reckon its worth getting 5 for ?25? just replace tyres wich is what i really need to do with my GSI rims anyway

5 for ?25 is a bargain so get them try them and if they dont fit sell them on

yeah will prob go for them and just get some 195/45 or 40/15 on them but no rush to buy tyres just yet, my gsi rims have life in them. (some anyway)
