Which Wheels for a 1966 Nova?
 

I am having trouble figuring out which wheels will look best on my 1966 Nova.

I was looking at the following? Or will take suggestions if anyone has a better idea.

Pics would be great.

I will be installing a camaro LS1 disc brake conversion this winter. I am looking to get a 17" wheel (maybe 18").

OK. I put in my vote.:thumbsup:

I voted other.......only because nothing really jumped out at me. Check out the Boze Speedster's, similar five spoke.

Check this out.. https://lateral-g.net/forums/showthread.php4?t=28604

i also voted other since all of those are good looking wheels just not very unique
and dont have that "it" factor for me. LOL
judging by the styles of wheels you posted (classic/timeless) i think new gens would work for your taste, especially these !!

I got it on steves nova site.

Do you remember the specs on this wheel? size, backspace.

I think this is the wheel i will use.

Looks like you got a lot of nice cars:yes:

I like the SLG60's the best out of the one's you are thinking of

Coursey, what about the Billet Specialties "Dagger" with Grey Center?

I think we have decided to go with the SLG 60's

I went with the Billet Specialties SLG 60 w/ BFG KDW2

front: 17x7 225/45/17

rear: 17x8 245/45/17

Got them from Jon @ Driverz Inc.

Great customer service. Very good people to deal with, and i highly recommend them to anyone.:yes:

Got the LS brakes installed.

Now just waiting on the Billet Specialties SLG 60 wheels

The wheels should be here feburary 22

Where O' Where are my wheels?

13 weeks and counting
:_paranoid

The wait is a killer, huh?

Hang in there!

Its not to bad of a wait when it is snowing and raining, but now that it 65* and sun shining it makes it harder.

I finally got the tracking number today :dance:

Now i just hope they fit :goofy:

The wheels should be here thursday.

I will post pics when they are installed

sweet ! Excited to see the pics.

Got the wheels on today

Sweet!

Looks really good!!!

Did you lower the car or have to cut the lip at all or modify to make these tires fit?
What back spacing did you go with... 4.5 inches?

Fronts:
17x7 4.75" BS
225/45/17 BFG KDW2

Back:
17x8 5" BS
245/45/17 BFG KDW2


I did not roll or cut the finder lip.

It does not rub at all anywhere.

Every car is different so it is better to always measure your car at ride hieght.

Classic INTRO Vista, all day
