what should i do

[nov4801]

im thinkin of getting rid of my 17" and gettin some 15" and droppin it 60mm what u think i should do,also what is the correct offset for novas on 15"

[JSeymour]

ET49

i think 15's suit standard looking novas more, so 15's.
17's look ok with bodykits.
will handle better with 15's anyway!

i thought novas were et45?

The standard offset is ET49 but ET45 is achievable as it sticks the wheel out marginally further, allowing a wider rim than anything Vauxhall offer. 15s will be far better as they are lighter and tyres are cheaper! You might be able to swap your 17s for some 15s with cash your way too!

[JSeymour]

Has your nova got 17's on without it lowered?

[nov4801]

yea

[Pillar]

stick with et49 otherwise will have to roll arches and still have trouble when 4up, as for lowering the car go for a 45mm drop for amazing handling!!

drop it 30mm, roll all four arches, strip out the back seats and put 15" ET38's on for wicked handling!

i had wheels with very simlar offset to that, and it handled ****..

stuck some vaux corsa c wheels on, and it handled amazingly better

my ET38's handle ace! Bottle throddy was saying exactly the same thing as me when he put similiar offset wheels on his nova though??

drop it 60/80 on 15's for even better handling:thumb:
