What would be the best tyre to get for my Nova to make it look Euro

Want a kind of stretch tyre?

probably 165/45 or 40 15. tbh i'd stick with what tyres you have now. save some money and get some 7j or 8j 14's or 15's for the proper euro look.

will handle loads better on the 195/45's. you'll have to do some serious rear arch mods to get 7 or 8j low et rims under the rear arches, i've looked into it lol

Are you sure those wheels are 6J width, The Nova cross spokes like that are 5J unless you have the Cavalier expression type ones?

[edit] sorry you did say they were 15". Tbh you need wheels of the wrong offset & about 7" wide, then stretch on some tyres & roll the arches like crazy. Then fit power steering to combat the tramlining.
