    Default Will these wheels fit

    I have been offered a set of cades Eros 16" 7j offset 35 that came off a corsa c. Will they fit my nova? Cheers

    It's the Offset that's wrong "ET35"
    Ideally you want et49 but anything 40+ would be ok
    Especially on a 3 door hatch. Saloons and 5 doors are ok for et 30+ roughly

    7J is also quite wide on a Nova, I've got some Pro-race 1.2 which are ET45 and 7J and the O/S/R catches with rolled arches
