euro style

[novalew]

What euro style alloys are available that will fit a nova (60mm drop)??

because i know that most of them are all silly ofsets?

pics would be gratefully appreciated.

It not the wheels that are silly offsets; Euro style IS a wide offset wheel so it shudn't matter too much, but be prepared to roll/flair your arches. Best bet is to go over there.. virtually.. i.e: follow this link.

Just remember euros over there.. and ull be suprised how many speak english. Your .co.uk ebay account will work over there too. Whoppee.
Hit 'zuruck' at the top; hopefully itll go back to list of items.

hi mate cheers for the info, i was looking at something like ronals but i've heard that there are some comps that look like ronals and fit a nova without modification?

Compomotive TH Mono fit

[mayhem]

if you don't want to much work with a 60-60 lowering, look for 14" with max 8j. front fits. rear with low enough tyres and bumpstops works also.

[novalew]

i was thinking about 60mm on the front and 120mm on the rear with the comp's TH mono's

will the rears just need rolling or more?

[novalew]

any ideas?

[Stoo]

get all 4 arches trimmed back completely if your going that low, the problem you will have is scrubbing the INNER arch

[novalew]

do you think 100mm would be better also is there a difference between the th and th mono's and is 14" the biggest that they come in?

Look at that site mate!!

Drop it then raise it til it moves!

[novalew]

will an et35 or et37 bee too far off?

I'm been a pain now arent i??

[Stoo]

Yeah you are a little bit!!

Itll be tight with ET 35/37 as the VX offset is 49 i believe

Maybe with a skinny rim say 7" tops maybe but youre gonna have to work those arches to achieve the look!!

Do what im doing, buy a TT and fit 9x19s on the front and 10x19s on the rear with no arch mods and slam the **** out of it!!

Now thats euro!

[novalew]

my mate just bought a a4 avant and slammed it on 20's looks great!!!

is there anyway to SAFELY alter offsets??

[Stoo]

IIRC breeny had these wheels on his and he had them machined slightly to a bigger offset, not by much but enough.

but then you run into thickness issues of where the wheel mounts to the hub and risk cracking it if you tighten up the wheel bolts too much etc!!


Too much of a safety risk to me compromising the thickness like that!

[novalew]

cheers Stu

Very tempted to put ronals on the nova!!!

Have to have a think

[Stoo]

ronals wont fit!

Thats why breeny had the comps THs

[novalew]

I've tried looking for Comp TH & TH mono's but cant find them in 15"s with et49 offset can only find the VW offset ones

If anyone can help in my search for my cars holy grail i would be very appreciative.

[Stoo]

YOU WONT FIND THEM IN ET49mm

Breeny had them machined to a higher offset

[mayhem]

what's all about the offset?

i got 14 inch with et15. no problems. lowered 60-60. with 195-45-14 tyres and bumpstops. must say, the back is all empty, no re****ats and stuff.

[novalew]

if i have to get them machined i may as well get ronals then in the first place and get them machined as they are closer to the 49 offset than th's are

[Stoo]

fair enough, i think breent had the same problem, thats why he got THs?!?!

THs look better anyway!
