    Default Will 6J X 15 wheels, 195/50/15 tyres fit on a Nova

    Seen some 6J X 15 wheels for a vauxhall, didn't know whether they would fit with 195/50/15 tyres on.

    thanks for your help

    is the car lowered, and do you know the offset of the wheels? 6" wide should be ok though I'd have thought

    Sorry, I don't know what you mean by offset, the tyres are as good as bought and I'm picking them up monday with wheels. The suspension is from a Nova GSI, not lowered apart from the standard height the GSi suspension gives, Cav SRI calipers & discs, 14" cav SRI steel rims.

    these are the wheels



    if it helps! this is the description "SIZE 6J X 15",ET 49,4 X 100 FOUR STUD FITTING"

    [boring]
    Offset is expressed as ET, which stands for the german Einpresstiefe... which literally translates as 'insertion depth' :o
    [/boring]

    Bear in mind having those 195/50/15 tyres on will put your speedo out a bit, although by how much would depend on someone telling me what standard nova tyres are...

    I asked the seller if their wheels would fit with my tyres, they replied "NO,YOU WOULD NEED 195/45/15 TO FIT A NOVA."
