    What has to be done to Nova arches to make allesio 2's fit on?

    Is it just gring the lip right back or do you need to do other things? They are et49. And how much would i be able to lower it by? I have got a G-max Lowering kit its -60mm. Will i be able to use this?

    Anybody else had experience with allesio's on nova's?

    Cheers
    Dan

    Try fitting them first you may get away with no mods
    If you gring right back you go beyond the spot welds and they rust really well
    You can shave a touch off before the spot welds should be enough
    Failed mot on indicator bulbs not being orange enough DOH

    They don't always fit straight on. 6x16" Irmscher Softstars usually fit straight on, but the Allesio is 6.5" wide IRRC. I depends on the car. Put them on and see what you get.

    had my nova at 60-70mm cause of an engine in the boot
    and they did touch
    I'm louder than gods own revolver and twice as shiney.

    I had to hammer the inner arch in slightly, where it curves around the shock. had no trouble with the outers though. also it may scrub the plastic cover on the shock slightly. depends what size tyres youve got. you shouldnt have major problems though.
