Since a '73 is still pretty close to a 68-72, you will need more offset. With an 8" rim, you need a 5" backspace. With a 10" rim, you are looking at close to 6" of backspace. Rolling the lip will greatly help with clearance. I am looking at 10" rims for my '70 but don't know if I want to deal with the aggravation of trying to make it fit. Hit search on this site for Nova wheel widths and a ton of information will come up.
