The Nova Tire Fitment Page

This page is dedicated to giving Chevy II and Nova owners information on what size tires fit particular year Novas. If you have additional information about Nova tire fitment, PLEASE e-mail Bruce at: bruce@2quicknovas.com. Please read through the tire fitment page for your year Nova before e-mailing me with questions, however, because I get a ton of e-mail and I don't like having to repeat what's already listed on the webpages. Thanks!

We want to make this page as accurate, informative, and helpful as possible. Thanks to all who've given me information for this page. We couldn't have done it without you!

Important Note (disclaimer)!!
We want to say right now that you really need to check carefully before you buy wheels and tires. The information on this page is legitimate and was collected from a wide variety of sources, but all cars are different. Size "X" tires fit one car with a 4.5" backspacing, but on the same generation car, another guy's same size tires required a 5" backspacing, and yet another guy's car required a 4" backspacing. You really need to check your own car as carefully as possible. The picture below may help, and for more help go to Wheel Vintiques' Website.
