62-65 Nova rear wheel/tire size
 

Getting ready to start assembling my 64 Nova this winter. Want to know what 8” rim backspacing is used to maximize the very limited amount of space. I can slightly adjust the housing to get fitment perfect when I set it up. Would like to try to get the Mickey 29.5 small radials in there.

Hopefully Jim Hanlon see this and offers his knowledge.

Good morning Chipper,
In my 1969 Nova I use Weld 15 x8" rims with a 6" back space.
Now I know the 1964 Nova Body is a little tighter in the wheel well area.
Anyone that runs a similar body should be able to give better incite. Those wheels were still available and maybe borrowing one will help. If not you may have to look into a " Custom back space" that you might have to order from someone like Bogart or one of the other Specialty wheel manufactures.

Respectfully,
