fitting 17" wheels

[vector1276]

has anyone got some advice on how to go about it i've got a gsi on spax shocks:eek:

ive had 17s fitted on my nova before, had to have the rear arches rolled and flared, as well as the fronts which even after some pretty extensive rolling of the return lips on the front wings, still rubbed like feck on full lock.

IMO i really wouldnt advise fitting them as i found the drive to be a bit sketchy, dont get me wrong itll handle like its on rails but at what cost?? i removed them in favor of some cav 15 inch rims and was amazed at the difference of ride quality etc. it feels like a compleatly different car to drive and the tyrers are cheaper lol.

Don't do it. Car will tramline and u can't get it low enough without major work I should know....

who cares about the ride when it looks sooooooo good

Firstly, anyone who drives will care. Secondly, I've yet to see any 17's on a nova that i thought looked good. :p
