I just put 215/14's in the front and 245/14's in the rear of our 1972 Nova SS.

The car is running on some original "CL" 14x7 wheels.

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
