I have been a member of the forum for about two weeks and love to read all the posts. I just wanted to share the new look of my baby with the wheels and tires. Gives it an entire new look. SS 15x7's with 4 1/2 BS all around with 235/60-15's up front and 255/60-15's out back..

That looks perfect gives the car a much nicer stance and not far from stock.

Good choice Paul:D

Yup, she has Monroe Maxi Air shocks. There is only about 40 lbs of air in them and it rides nice too. I only add some air to give it a little more clearance and a nice rake to it...

Looks great! I thought I had read somewhere that BFG had discontinued the Radial T/A's. Apparently that is not true? I have Radial T/A's on both my Nova's. Any rubbing issues with tire sizes you chose?

No rubbing at all.. Maybe just a little at a right or left hand turn at a full lock. But, thats it.. I can lve with that..;)

Slick......Man! Looks much better. I may go with the 15" ones on the front of mine someday. Looks like you have a little more clearance on the back fenders with the 7" rims than I do with the 8's. Oh well, live and learn........

You were a big help to me in selecting the wheels I have. I wanted the SS wheels but was unsure of which ones. When I saw you're ride and how great it looked, I knew I was on the track to perfection.

Thanks Man!!

Just so ya know......There were no factory 15" SS rims like these - only 14". I looked all over the place before I figured that out......

The 15" come from Wheel Vintiques....
