Hey guys, I want your advice on how to widen the front wings of my nova. I just put new tires 195/50 R15 Toyo R888 and I have trouble in the corners, and I climbed up, regulated hardness and is still rubs against the body.

is it stupidly low? could you not highten the car for better clearence?
wilson.
I adjust the suspension to gr.a nova GTE parameters, later I upload a pic.
get a grinder on the lip,and i ran the same size and make tyre, that works mint for me, and im a fat *******lol
Had the same problem on a rally car I look after, we altered the line of the wheel arches, made them more circular.
I can take a picture if you want to see how it looks?
your other option is to use saloon front wings, because they are round, so better clearance :thumb:
Or 5 Door ones, this is the best for "track/rally" if you ask me (one of the Rally guys on here runs them on his actually). They give ALOT more clearance than standard box arches.Quote:

Maybe flare the arches using the bottlejack method to gain the clearance?
ah forgot about more door ones being round too :thumb: I think its phunky-nova on here running themQuote:

For the same height the 195/50 R15 Michelin Pilot never give any problem:confused: After these tyres I put the 195/45 R15, the distance between the tyre and the wheels arch its perfect.

are they renault wheels?? what is the offset? on a nova the offset should be ET49, these look like ET35
What offset are those wheels? They look like they stick out further than I'd expect
Edit: D'oh beaten to it by the Mowg'
Yeah the offset its 38 with 6,5J.
The progress at the moment;)
