the largest tires that will fit

i have a 64 nova,i just replaced the front clip with one from heidts,that has a 2in drop spindle.i plan on keeping the rear axle,i was just wandering what the max amount of rubber that i can fit under the rear end,and what back space is required for the front and rear.

Here is a great link!

should tell u all about it. :cool:

I got a 275/50-15 in mine, minitubbed............just a little :D

The 2quick Novas site is not the answer you were looking for. I mini-tubbed my 64' with splitting the factory wheel wells. I have a Mickey Thompson 275-60-15 ET Radial and it is very tight. I have massaged some things and have more to go. Actually, I have a 1/2" more room on one side than the other. I don't think tolerances were held very close in 64'. Had I went with aftermarket wheel tubs, I would have more room. If you want the most room you can get, that's what I would do. I have 2in. dropped front spindles from Heidts and have puchased a 15x5 ProStar wheel for the front. The motor is not in yet so I don't know what height tire I am going to run. Hope this info is useful.
