et42 rims will they???

[FUSION X16XE]

will my et42 rims fit my nova im planing to lower it -40mm aswell will they b ok before i got getting tyres cheers tom :thumb:

ET42 is most probably in the arch rolling territory, give it a check though as there is a reasonably large tolerance on the nova chassis, so each is slightly different.

well ive test fitted them and the rear rubs on the inside next 2 the shock but the front is ok i think, but i jst wounderd if id need spacers? and i havent bought the tyres yet so its not 2 late to chuk

[bump]

It's rubbing on the shock side? Not the answer I was expecting.

How wide are the wheels?

haha well there vw wheels i got of a brothers mate and i liked the look of em so i wanted 2 put them on and i tryed the front one and that seemed ok so i tryed the rear and it was rubbing on the sheet metal next to the rear shock so i fort mabye spacer on the back or sumink but im not shure bout the front because mabye when they got tyres on them im not guna be able to get full lock what do you think? cheers buddy

razorjack im not shure lol because i got them with no tyres and i dont no to much about wheels sizes and that so i measured from the inside of each lip and it measures 175mm so i presume this is the 175/55r15 part?? so i think that is my tyre size? not shure tho lol

i got ET38's on mine, an mine fit fine

[FUSION X16XE]

so am i right in thinking my wheels will be 175/55 15s???

That'd be the tyre size, of which you can go slightly bigger or smaller.

175mm is 7.0" (wheel size 15x7), thats a touch wide for a nova hence the rubbing on the inside. How much room is there up to the outer arch, you may have enough leeway to fit a few spacers in. I'd guess not a lot of room though!
