I have run H70/15's on the back of our 70 L78 Nova...with a 4" wheel on the front you will need the correct tire...the link above might work well. Wilma

Re: Bias ply tire siZe for my 15x4 cragar as
Here is a link to Coker Tire and the Pro Trac line. They offer two front runner sizes. Not sure if the 560 would be big enough to fill out the Nova opening, but it's the one they recommend for your rim size.
http://www.cokertire.com/catalogsear...lt/?q=pro+trac On a side note: The picture in their ad on the 560 page, of the Pro Tracs mounted on the Cragar S/S rims, are my Vega wheels and tires.

I ran 6.00 x 15 on a set of 15x4 Fenton slots. Granted this was on a 66, but it was about the bare minimum I would recommend to fill out the wheel wells.

I'm in a similar situation as the OP. What do you guys think of current M&H skinnies in 27 x 4.5 - 15?

Re: Bias ply tire siZe for my 15x4 cragar as
Another one under consideration is the Coker US Royal 670-15. At 27.5" tall, they're slightly taller than the M&H J60-15 Muscle Car Drag tires I'm planning to put on the rear. They also look more like what Da Grump had on his Nova. What think ye?

Re: Bias ply tire siZe for my 15x4 cragar as
IMO the tires in the pic above are too tall for a first Gen. Those look to be 7.75-15 or similar. I think the 6.00-15 looks more appropriate.
