This has probally been asked before, but ......what is the biggest rear tire/wheel combo for a 1970 nova? using CRAGAR wheels I think a 15x8 with 4.25 backspacing should work using BFG T/A 235/60 15. does that sound right???:confused:

I've got 15x7 Cragar's SS ........and 235/60-15's on the rear with no issues at all.........I'm thinking about going to 255's....from which I've read on the forums will fit also.
Hope this helps.

I have a 15 x 8 prostar with a 4.5" backspace and a 255/60/15...don't like how close they are to the outer quarter panel lip..should I think a 5" backspace would work better..
