      Any one done a 17/19 combo 67 nova

      I've wanted to run 18/20 combo on my 67 nova I love the look but seems to be tuff to tuck a 20 in back and odd sizes for tires there to tall unless u run a 30 series tire which I think is to small,, So any pics of 17/19 s on a 66-67 nova I like staggered sizes

      Could be done easily but remember sidewall height will be critical due to matching rubber sizes available. Call me at 855-353-7883 tomorrow and we will help you out.

      normally, you only see an 18/20 combo if that specific wheel is unavailable in 19" sizes. 2" of stagger is a hard look to pull off.

      nothing looks worse than the rear sidewall being shorter than the front.

      17 / 19 is too big a stagger. To make it look right with that combo you will have to run a 25" tire on the front on that 17" rim and a 27" tire on the rear on that 19' rim to maintain the same aspect ratio, and a 2" stagger will make it look like a funny car.

      If you make the mistake I have seen a 1000 times and put a 26" tire on that 17" rim and a 27" tire on that 19" rim, the front tire will look taller then the rear tire because there is more tire showing around the rim. The Ultimate tire / wheel sin in my book!

      I would do a 26" front tire on a 18" rim and a 27" rear tire on a 19" rim. A nice 1" tire and wheel stagger front to rear. A very subtle, very deliberate stagger.

      Kovert...BFG G-Force KDW 2's. 215/40/18 and 275/35/19. Mine is Mini Tubbed to the rails so no 315's for me...but did give me a little over 2" extra clearance per side.

      I agree with things that have been said here. The 19/17 seems to be a bit large of a stagger.

      I plan on doing a 19/18 when the time comes. Just .02 cents of input

      I was only thinking 17/19 cause I like the 20 18 stagger look but I was told u have to do a lot to fit the 20 in the back so was thinking the 17/19 would look similar
