bolt pattern is the same. you would just have to figure out the backspacing/offset. Worst case you would need spacers

I can't help you any on the wheels, but what satin black paint is that? Looks great!

18x10 32mm offset is 6.76" back space. Your going to need a 1" adapter to put you at 5 3/4" BS. Run an adapter for 5x 4 3/4" hub pattern and a 5 x 120mm wheel pattern. If I remember right you will need a 1 1/4" adapter for the fronts, although I cannot read the lower box.
Nova will take 5 1/2" - 5 3/4" back space no problem. I would recommend measuring your tubs to be sure as all cars are different.
Tip, its easier to modify the inboard area than the quarter panel.

Keep in mind that the bolt pattern is different, you either need to run adapters or get the wheels modified, or else your lug nuts may come loose. I put TSW wheels on my Chevelle, but I got the bolt pattern fixed so no spacers.
The 18 x 9.5 with 22mm offset comes out to 6" BS, so you may still have to run spacers.
