That Econo Blaster Nova just reminds me so much of all the Novas around when I was growing up, love it.

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

Boy, dumb me! Good point about radials already on the car.

So, right now my 215/70/14's are 25.9 high, same as stock I believe. 3.73 posi rear,so my speedo is correct. My 14 x 6 Torq Thrust wheels have 3.375 backspacing.

Now, how about Wide Ovals F60 x 15? These would be 25.9 high but much wider. The Cragars would be 15 x 7 with 4.125 backspacing. My car has the front 4 piston caliper factory front brakes.

How would that fit &amp; look? Anybody have pics of F60 x 15's on a Nova?

Re: Day 2 wheel suggestions?
 

Go with something DRC and let us know how you make out. Do like most of us do....have a driver set of radials with the Cragars or Torques and have a &quot;local&quot; driver set of Cragars and nylon thumpers. Maybe get a hold of Donny White (GTO DON) and visit his vast assortment of tires and wheel combos at his shop. That may help make up your mind. He lives in Philly.

Re: Day 2 wheel suggestions?
 

That's a good idea Sam...GTO Don has many rare original and repo tires to choose from. Bound to find a good set there for sure.

15's are easier tires to find. The largest 14&quot; Goodyear available is a G70-14. I do not know what Coker has. For 15&quot; Goodyears, you have E, F, and G in 70 series. For 60 series, you have E, F, G, and L's!!!!

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>

Misprint for sure... they never made a 14x6 SS wheel, however Motorwheel did produce that style wheel in a 6&quot; wide size, I used to have a chrome set of them in a GM bolt pattern.

15s always look too big on a nova to me. Fat tires on 14's are cool though.

That rally Nova looks just great on the street and track set ups!!!!
