For sure a standard 4 - 4.5 BS wheel will not fit, not only that but the suspension is designed for about a 45-50 mm positive off set
so a 8.5" wheel 6.5 to 7 BS. a 4.5 BS would adversly change the scrub way too much ( i have this argument with my partner alllll the time he always wants a bigger lip on the front wheel and it is really not possible) we have built frames with c5 and made them narrower than AM will and i know you make the bump steer worse but when your putting C5 into a 66Nova i think the trade off of a little bump steer is worth the upgrade, besides if the rack goes in the optomimum position it is not that bad our last one we ended up with .071 deg of toe change in 1.0 inches of travel and .157 toe out @ 2" of compression ant the track width is 53.5"
