just so you know 215/70 on a 15x7 rim are to big on the front of a nova. Mine hit every so often should of gone with a 205/70x15 tire. I have 235/60 on the rear both front and rear rims have 4" back spacing.

Jason, can you post a side picture of your car? I would like to see how it looks with the tires you are running.

I am running 15x7 ralleys all around. No problems with 21570R15 BFG RTA on front. Backs are 25570R15. I needed the 29" height to fill some day two wheel wells. Earl

I am running 15x7 Torque thrusts on the 68 without any issues. The rear tires are 245/60 and the front are 215/65. I wanted the tire height to be about the same and that combo seemed to give me what I was looking for.

I got A pair of these the other day and put one on my 72 Nova to see how it would look. The tire is a very old Dunlop G 70 15. I think the wheel is A 7 or 8 inch but I can't find any markings on it to tell who made it or what size it is.
