Coilovers and 205x17 tyres

[Martin]

i was wondering that aswell.

ive got set of avo coilovers and a set of 17in compomotive mos in et49 but no nova yet to try them on!! i was thinking of using a 195/40/17 tyres.

if they dont fit ill have to sell mos for a set of speedlines!

whats strange about it?

i have got fk automotive coilovers and i want a set of 17's for my nova and i was askin if the tyres would rub on the inside on my tyres?

and if so how can i stop it from doin it??:tard:

I think what Jon is getting at is that your coilovers increase your cars handling, and the 17's will delapidate it so it seems a bit pointless, if you want to run 17's you may as well downgrade to spring and dampers again. lol

i supose i see wat ya getin at lol... any sugestions on the setup i should go for then boss?

Lol, almost all wheel types come in 15"

Agreed, you just need to look a bit harder lol. have a look at the motorsport options from people like Compomotive and Revolution, also both the tweeks catalogues (Blue chavvy and Red motorspot lol), try typing in the name of well known wheel manufactures (BBS, 100+, Speedline etc...)into google and go to their websites direct as only some of their wheels go to different suppliers.

If you decide to go with 17's, just get a Gmax kit and sell the coileys to give you more to spend on the wheels! (but 15's are the way to go, 17's really are useless on a nova if you want it to handle well)

Plus 17" tyres cost more ;)
