    Most BMW wheels are 5stud arn't they? So there is your first hurdle.. Plus they run a much lower offset iirc.

    old shape e30 4 stud benn stud pattern is same. center bore might be diffrent though offset way out though.

    make sure you get center caps with wheels rare items.

    Dont think stretched tyres will bring them under the arch without major arch stretching or custom arches. I fitted some 15 x 7 golf rims (same offset as bmw iirc) to the corsa just to move it up the drive and they stuck out about 3 1/2" lmao

    I have a set of the 15 x 7 Golf BBS ones on a corsa B, again I think they are the same as BMW ones. Mine are et33 and dont seem to stick out that much although I did pull the arches a little. Cav slabs are et49 and 15 x 6.5 (not certain on the width) so its only going to be 16mm + 0.25" more sticking out per side for the BBS. Not too much really although on a Nova you wont have any plastic arch extensions to cover any arch pulling! I will try to remember to get a pic up later
    Forgot to mention 195-45-15 tyres on the BBS

    Theflame, Nova arches have much less room than a Corsa.
