Tire Sizes

I was wondering what would be the max tire width I would be able to run on my 74' nova and if there are any suggestions to wheel and tire sizes

Use the search button first. This topic has been discussed ad nasuem.

255 almost always fit. Some got 275's to fit. I thought I saw one person got a 295 to fit.

Rolling the inner fender lip and moving your shocks inboard would be required for sure with the 295.

I have the run the following wheel/tire combinations on the back of my 71 Nova (Which I no longer own :(, regretfully....) without any rolling of the wheel lip...

255/60R15 & stock GM 15x7 ralley wheel.
255/70R15 & 15x7 Weld Draglite (4.5" backspacing)
275/60R15 & 15x8 Weld Draglite (5.5" backspacing)

I fit a set of 255/60/r15's under it nicely, with no need to roll the lip of the inner fender well. they are on aftermarket 15X8 rallye style wheels.

I forgot to mention that with the 275/60R15 & 15x8 (5.5" back spacing) combo platter you will need to relocate the shocks inboard for sufficient clearance...

i have a 295/50/15's under my car. but i have air shocks lifting the back end to clear the tire from rubbing. i also have big block coils on front so my car sits high. it works if you want a tall stance car. if you want the car down in the weeds then you will need to do some work on the rear to make that size tire fit. 255's will work for sure.

mines got 245/60 14s onthe rear n 185/60 41s course im usin Aluminum slots from back inthe day

A 275/60-15 will work with a 15x7 rally or a rim with same offset no rolling.:yes:

Do you have pics of the 255/70r15's on the car?

Anyone else run 255/70r15's??????
