I really want those wheels, badly, really really badly infact
My rear beam is exactly the same Edd, when I put the 15's on last year I checked my passenger side for clearance because I remembered my nova years ago scrapped on that side, I didn't check the drivers side when settled though and it buckled the lip and chipped the paint once settled down.
Will be nice to see this with all the new lush alloys on, definately worth putting on a Sport IMO.
Btw I shall go back to bed now
After having a think about it overnight and another look this morning I'm now going to mod the beam, I don't want there to be even a small chance the tyre could rub on the arch.
Very beam is pissed, dont worry.
As the arch needs paint why not fold the arch? What beam mod are we talking about?
All I wanted was a Pepsi, just one PepsiFar from suicidalStill I get them tendenciesBringing back them memories
That I really miss when I reminisce
Cut of the plate which the stub axel bolts too and welding it on the other side, would give 8mm more clearance
Not too keen on folding the arch tbh, I like the factory look
if you was to do that mod your talking about it will bring wheel in thus rubbing on shock, inside tyre wall..
Errr no it won't, wheels are et33 and there's about 20mm of clearance on inner arch and shock
Had the tape measure out
But if you start fiddling with the rear wheel alignment, wont that feck up the geo etc?Errr no it won't, wheels are et33 and there's about 20mm of clearance on inner arch and shock

Although yoiu should be able to counter it with some front wheel fettling I guess...
Isnt it more feasible that the rear quarters were spot welded on the pi**? Every Nova I have seen (and VW's too) is like that one way or t'other
it will make it crab. not good, and handle like a 3 legged pig in a bath.
its only putting the wheel back where it should be tho ?
EDIT; for the front, i was thinking of rose jointed bottom arms wound in 5mm, then get alloy adjustable top mounts and moving them in to suit, but is this going to make it handle like crap ? or is it a too small adjustment to be noticed ?
.........fooking wheels
