It'll make a big difference if you put some smaller wheels on with the right offset.

Try some 15" Vaux wheels. correct offset. Much better handling & arch clearance.

You could fit wheels with alower offset to avoid having to use spacers, but it is technically the wrong way to do it.
The correct way to get the wheels looking right under the wide arches is to fit spacers between the stub axles and rear beam at the back, and lengthened bottom arms, tie rods and driveshafts etc at the front, otherwise you'll have to change the wheel bearings surprisingly often.

if you going to run a wide arch kit fit the wider track they look cool wide. its suit the nova shape and mean better stbility.

It moves the axles themselves outwards so the wheels can be in the right place for the arches, at the same time as not eating wheel bearings.
