Tallest and widest tire on a 69 nova
What would be the biggest tire i could fit on a 69 nova with caltracs, splitmono leafs and ranch shocks in the stock location. I will be running a built 8.5 10 bolt, also if i run a weld 15x8 what backspacing will i need. I want to be able to fit a 28x10.5 or a 275 60 15 drag radial is this possible . thankyou
On my nova and my brothers, we run 15x8 welds w/5.5 bs with 275 drag radials and they fit great. Both cars have 1 1/2 lowered split leafs and caltracs, I did move the shocks to inside of the frame and move the inner wheel house alittle . I've heard you can run a 1/2 inch spacer ( 1pc billet ) with this offset and not move anything, but I haven't tried it. Walt p.s. I did get a 295 /65 dr under my car with these rims once, but everything was CRAZY close.

We put a 275/60 and a 28x10.5 under our 72 nova and didn't move a thing.The wheel is a 15x8 w/5.5 and I use the Mr. Gasket spacers to bring it out a little but it fit great.I cant tell you how thick the spacers are but the are differnt between the two tires.I just buy spacers at the swapmeets.They are used and I have never checked them.
