if its lower they will rubb like hell, trying rolling arches and cutting them back as well or wide arch kit, by the way pick up some clear indecaterfor you motor will look loads better

:wtf:

You'd need a wide arch and wide track kit to fit 18" wheels on. Thinnest 18's are usually 7.0 at best so they'll rub the inner arch on standard hubs.

wouldn't bother with 18's on a nova, be really undriveable, and handle like a bag of ****e, id go 16's max, they still look big and spot on, on nova's

18's on a nova is a bad idea unless your building a proper show car, otherwise there stupid.

plus what engine size is your nova, because iff its a 1.2, 0 to 60 with 18's could take about 5 days

I'm guessing those "kills" didn't include any corners then? lol

no nova would beat a specc'd up evo around twisties! Esp the older one's where the turbo's spin up almost instantly like lancia delta's!!!
