with a wheel with an offset of 45 is there a better way of maikin them fit? my mate used to have to pull the arches out himself with a hammer n tht lol and looked quite a mess.
what is the proper way to do it?

U'll have 2 have the metal lip on all 4 archs trimmed/folded inwards even with 15s dropped 50mm as i did wiv my nova. - so do this, get 17s no wider than 7 inches, keep between et49 and et45 and u should b fine.
fk coilovers for the nova go down 2 75mm max.

much lower and u have probs with the front wheels hitting the top of the struts so i've heard.
slammed it 75mm on some nice 15s instead - that would look cool.

perhaps some smaller tyres on them 17s and much stiffer suspension and u could drop the front another 10/15mm looking at that pic.
looks nice tho.

Heres my old nova on 17's,
The wheels where machined to fit in the arch better, the arches where hammered out and the coilovers where as hard as possible and it still scrubbed!
Then theres my mates old nova on 16's, that was very low with minimal arch mods,
Speedlines do look top on a nova

17's on a nova are poor. 16's are ok, 15's are by far the rim size of choice
