Re: Opinion: What wheels look best on a nova?
We have 15 x 6 on the front and 15 x 7 on the rear...the TTO's will limit your tire size due to their backspacing. You could use the tires you have without a problem...probably 235's on the rear and 215's on the front would work with the Torque Thrusts...maybe a little more...those are 67 Chevelle/Chevy 2 dog caps on our 70...something different from the million other cars with COPO caps

Re: Opinion: What wheels look best on a nova?
I've got 15x6 and 15x7 rims on it. I think I've got like a 195 or 205 tire on the front, and I know I've got 255s on the rear. The drivers side cleared fine. I had to roll the quarter panel lip slightly on the passenger side because when I went around sharp curves, the tire would rub. It seems like I remember reading about several guys having the same issue that I did with tire clearance, that the driver's side had more clearance than the passenger side. As posted above, you would be safer with a 235 tire.

Re: Opinion: What wheels look best on a nova?
I have 16x7 and 16x8 polished TT II's on mine, but E/T Mags or the TTO's look great with the Fathom Blue! Just my opinion.

Re: Opinion: What wheels look best on a nova?
Torque Thrust D's .
 Here is an old Torque Thrust that I had on the rear of my 72 Nova. Someone was throwing a pair of them away and I grabbed them. They don't have any name on the back. I use them to roll stuff around as one has a bad place around the center cap area. 15X7's I think.  Here are the Fenton slots that are going on the 72. This car might get torn down and completed sometime before I die.... I am still gathering parts for it and that never seems to end....  The fronts mounted. They are 15X3 1/2.  Tommy

Re: Opinion: What wheels look best on a nova?
The Torq Thrust Ds with the red stripe tires do it for me. What about the AR Salt Flat wheels? http://www.wheelsforless.com/SearchR...ords=VN4705700
