73 Nova rear wheel spacing

chris ok · 03-15-2009, 08:54 AM

car is a 1973 Nova SS 4 speed speed, 10 bolt 8.5. I have test fit a 15 by 8 with 4.5 inches back space. It appears I could fit a 5.5 inch back space, but don't have a set to test fit. the car has original 10 bolt rear and no mods but trimmed wheel well lips. should we stick with 4.5 or get the 15 by 8 with 5.5 back space. any help is appreciated. thanks, chris

All I was ever able to run was a 8in with 4 or 4.5 bs or a 10 with 5in bs. Mostly a centered rim.
