I have a 1972 Nova I've been working on.
Ever since I read an car and driver article on the ZR1 I've had the thoughts of running 19x10's up front and 20x12's out back.

I'm not sure if it is just the inner fender and spindle height / steering arm which will limit tire size up front?
Or if it is the actual fender itself?

The fenders would then have to be massaged (widen) to make this possible?

At the moment I like the Forgeline ZX3P wheels.

I haven't yet chose an aftermarket subframe. Contemplating between DSE or AME.

I would appreciate any input.

Thank you.

1969 Stella nova

It has 20x10's up front with no inner fenders.

AME subframe with air bags?

Could not find any video's of said car to see it actually perform.

Wouldn't desire to sacrifice actually performance because I may want to track the car.

If I could do 18x10's up front I'd be pleased.

I think that Mark Turner's '70 Nova is on 18x10s in the front. See: http://www.chevyhiperformance.com/featuredvehicles/1401_1970_chevy_nova/
