    If its 100mm all round. The tyre will hit the front arch when you turn.
    The rear might be very close due the the + or - 5 build quality.

    Nova's are built with a + or - 5mm difference in every car...

    So one Nova it might be perfect, your mates might be tight and rubbing.

    And yes, it might catch the arch (not the lip) like mine does. It it catches and you turn you can wrap the arch.. (like i have)

    Gonna be a trial and error game. But you'll get it low fine. I'd flatten the arches tho, will really help with clearance.
