Will they rub? How low do you think?

[NovaKen]

I've got a set of 15 inch OZ Saturn wheels and i've referbed them to a grey finish, the tyres are going to be 195/45/R15 having an offset of 31 I think.

I'd post pictures but I don't know how to? LOL:roll:

Soon after fitting the wheels i'll be wanting to lower and stiffen suspension, what do you pro's think will look good? and is there a chance the wheels may rub at all when lowered? I was thinking about 40mm.

Thanks for any help or opinion given. Ken :thumb:

I'm suprised they don't catch now, ET31 isn't ideal 45 / 49 is what your wanting. What width are the rims ??
I've got 7" rims with 195/45/15's on mine with a ET45 and even with the arch lip folded flat theres only about 2mm gap, so your gonna struggle with ET31 !!

I haven't fitted them yet, was told they came off a nova so i didn't check wheather they fitted. hope they fit, put lots of time into refurbing

Ahh, thought you had them on but not with it lowered, If the ET is 31 then they aint gonna go on with out a lot of arch work, if the rims any wider than 6" then you've got no chance.

I agree. Definately not a Nova friendly fitment.

Might be possible to have the inner face machined but you would need to check there is enough material on the back edge for the wheel nuts etc.

They will have come off a Golf or similar VW i expect

i made the same mistake when i was 17,i had a nova 1.3 sr and got hold of some momo arrows (30ET) they didnt even fit into the arches,they stuck out!!!

Euro Style but not as nice!!
