[6L63]

Hi All,

I need HELP. My 63 Nova (6L Sedan) needs new tires and I want to change the wheels as well. I was hoping to get a set of 15"x7 (4 on 4.5) wheels (I found a few nice options) with 195/60R15 tires but I am not sure if that will fit since I have a CPP mini sub-frame kit with a 1.5" drop installed.

My car currently runs on 14" with 195/60R14 tires.

Your guidance and input will be greatly appreciated!!

I think your best bet would be to buy a wheelrite to find the proper fitting wheel/tire.

15x7 wheels on a 63

I have a set of 15x7 wheels with the 4 x 4.5 bolt pattern. I removed them from my 63 Acadian where they fit with no problem. I don't remember the tire sizes but I know they are larger than 195. I would guess that the only issue you might have is the 60 series width on the front tires. That can be adjusted in a couple different ways, one is with the fender adjusters I have seen advertised. I think they are just a different fender brace that sets the front edge of the fender out a little farther.

I have found this tire size calculator very useful. Perhaps it will help you.
