Looks great Rich. That Nova and Grady's Nova are the 2 cars I based my Cragar/cheater slick wheel package on. BTW Rich, do I see stickers on those tow tabs?

Bill...I always thought that was the case...but, in Colvin's Book Chevy by the Numbers 65-69 he lists a 14 x 6 Chevelle SS Wheel with both codes...YA and AO.*page 321
Maybe this is a misprint in his book [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]

Thanks...wilma </div></div>

I'm not sure what they mean by SS wheels on Chevelles Tom. I'm talking about the wheels on my El Camino in my sig. Those SS wheels didn't start until 69, and they were all 14&quot;x 7&quot; wide. Maybe Colvin's is talking about the Rally wheels/they came in many different sizes...14&quot;,15&quot; and 6&quot;, 7&quot;, &amp; 8&quot; wide. The 14&quot;x7&quot; SS wheels on my Elky are the only ones I know of, that Chevy used.

Yes, Rich, Grady and Bill have done a great job. Here is another example of how you can't go wrong with Cragars on a Nova.

Here are some other choices. Spyders? They are probably easier to find than old Keystones. These Keystone are not like the ones you can buy today.

I know I've got more examples. Let me see what I can dig up.

<span style="font-weight: bold">Another set of Keystone wheels, but the black rim out back and any mag up front is pretty bad ass on a Nova!

<span style="font-weight: bold">Spiders again!

<span style="font-weight: bold">As much as wheels are fun, I think Nova's have some of the coolest options for lump'ed hoods. L88, Stinger, Grump Lump, Plexi, etc. another great bolt on for a bit of summer fun!</span>

AHHH, Shallcross Bros. Pro Stock nova! One of my favorites! A Jenkins Competition motor. Is Tommy Johnson's a Gibb Nova?

Well, Cragars are what I'll do on my 68 for sure. Just have to decide on tires. Thinking BFG Radial T/A's with 235/60/15's for real world driving, and I plan on doing trips, life is short.

But, the Wide Ovals just have that killer old school look. Not sure what would fit / look best. G60 x 15's or 14'S?

Salvatore 01-19-2014 12:02 PM

Re: Day 2 wheel suggestions?
 
don't know I would do G's in the front. Maybe just the back? 14's would be ok. That is what they came with. A little taller and wider in the back then in the front in my opinion.

The car looks hot! Since you already have the radials, go with the Wide Ovals!
