Lowered Nova on Cavalier wheels

[apo]

Hello!

Im a guy from norway thinking about buying a set of cavalier gsi wheels.
And im just wondering if it will scrape anywhere with 195/45 or 195/50 tires, my car is lowered 60/55mm with coilovers at front.

Thank you!

Welcome to Novaload :D

You'll certainly have problems with 195/50 tyres, but 195/45 should be ok.

Has the lip on the arch been cut back or rolled up at all? You might need to do this if its not already been done.

I dont think it will pose any problems. If it does scrub it will be minimal.
Ive had a -60mm drop with 195/50 profile Yokohamas.

Pick tyres that have a low sidewall. Some tyres of equal size will vary in actual size considerably.

My arches ar rolled up slightly at the rear end, and at front it's completely rolled.

I tried some 7x15 with 195/50 tires, the rims with ET35, they scraped on both inside and outside at front. Will the scraping on the inside get better with higher ET?

yes with et49 wheels you should get little or no scrubbing
