cool im interested and have some questions to ask would like to know what size the back tires are and what size and back space the rear rims are :thumbsup:
Scott,
First, I want to say Nice 3rd Gen!:thumbsup:
When you say you want a Pro Touring look do you mean ONLY looks or do you want to go deeper into what Pro-Touring is really all about. If it's just looks you may want to check out some Nova PT cars on:
http://www.lateral-g.net
http://www.pro-touring.com
Check out some of the photos and that should give you some great ideas as to the direction you can take your car. These sites can also provide you with information for as in depth a project as you want for a Pro-Toruing car.
There are also a lot of folks on here that are very well versed in any phase of Pro-Touring your car. Just go to the Pro-Touring section and ask away. Good Luck!
John
P.S. Not sure if the bolt pattern is right but these would look sweet on your ride:

if you really really want to be safe run a 255 on the rear, i ran 275 on an 8" wide rim even against tire maufactures suggestions and i had no problems, but i was using a falken tire thats a small 275/40 series, went to a 275/40 nitto on my 18x9's and are a .5" taller tire..you picked a good rim size for the rear, but are your qtr panel inside lips trimmed? also depending on how much you lower the front end ( with stock upper control arms) your tire will some in contact with the fender liner bolt, i would have recomended at least a 4.5" on the front...but i will say this again it all depends on how low your car is. for whats its worth i dont know anyone on any site that has changed the suspension on there 3rd gen more than me. my list is huge. if you have a quesition feal free to ask.
this was my car 2 years ago with the very same bsp and rims you mentioned

Phillip, you would think times were good for all of these aftermarket vendors with the customer services I've been given, The car would have been on the road, but my headers that I ordered back in early December are still not here yet.
I would recomend a 255/45 however they will be really tall, which will give it the old hot rodder look. the 255/40 will be a tad bit shorter. If the rims havent been built yet and your not running big rear disk brakes a 5-5.5" would be a good rim, just because if you plan up grading you have the room to do it.
Hopefully you will get the headers soon. We are trying to organize a Southern Arizona BBQ and it would be good to see you and your Nova there.
