Widest wheels on 68-72 nova

[Bad94]

If I was to do it again, I would just mini tub it as DSE tells you to and run a 315.

I went a full 3" and had to split the tubs and widen them, I really only did it cause a few people told me it couldn't be done, well I did it.

Right now im running the 18x12 with a 315 Falkens

do you think 315's with a 12" rim will fit dse tubs doing everything normal? Reason I ask is the rims I want to run are only available I. 8,9,10, &12" widths.....no 11's!

I don't think so.

assuming it has the stock leafs and tubs, 275 with 4.5 to 5in of backspacing is the biggest you can go

What about the front tire size on a 17" and 18" wheels with stock subframe using Speedtech control arms and C5 spindles?

[Bad94]

I can tell you with the ridetech stuff on my nova I can run a 18x10 with a 275. I run a 18x9.5 with a 275.

That sounds pretty cool but I went with the C5 spindles, instead of the truturn setup.

Sorry to hijack but too many people ask me how I'm running 295-50-15's in a stock wheel well I have 5" backspace. 9" wheel. Rolled fender lips. They'll rub on inside on off axis driveways. No probs otherwise. Drum brakes. Disc may change offset.

Jeff,
Just caught your reply about TCI torque arm in your nova.I am in the process of installing same kit.What size did you go with on the rear?

[72_Nova]

Ive ran 295 up font with rubbing at full lock. Right now I have the rear tubbed with 335's with 18x12.5 wheel and front is 275 with 18x10 (only cause the rivals don't come in a 295)

Wow,i was hoping to get 305\35\18's.I guess they should fit no problem,just need to figur out back spacing.

[Jimmyjump]

Did you have to do any mods to the front inner finders or did you just remove them. If so, could you post some pics.

Did anyone ever figure out the back spacing on the v40 wheels this guy is running?
