I have 70 nova with ridetech upper and lowers,spindles and tru turn plus dse mini tub rear stock length 10 bolt. Found sum wheels that are 17x9.5 with 37 mm offset and 17x10.5 with 44 mm offset. Will these fit?the rears should be ok with 11inch wheel i was i would have 7 3/4 offset? Million dollar question will they fit?

Carl Cassanova fit 17x9 wheels all around on his first gen Camaro with Speedtech arms. We have fit 17x8 in front and 17x9 rear on a 69 Nova with stock front arms, no rubbing, but I believe that a minitub is in your future for the rear with a 17x10.5 rear wheel. I think that the front may rub if you dont dial out some steering.

The rear is mini tubbed already i know that 10.5 will fit but not sure on the offset? On the front i have ridetech upper and lowers plus spindles and ther tru turn whitch allows for a 10inch wheel its the offset that i wondering about?

Its time to bust out a couple of rulers. Every car is slightly different. Put one ruler across the hub and measure back to your nearest obstructions. That will give a good idea of your max backspace.

We have a '73/4 Nova with a 19x10 rear wheel (285/30R19) with what is effectively a 34mm offset (79mm wheel offset less a 45mm adapter) and it fits fine with about 3/4" of space between the outside of the tire and the fender with the lips removed. Your wheel combination should have an additional 10mm clearance between the tire and fender which shouldn't be an issue on the inside since you're running a DSE mini-tub kit. You didn't specify the size of tire, but I'm assuming 285 to 305 on a 10.5" wheel...too much wider and your clearances could be an issue.
