Were doing a 67 Nova and using Alstons front end.
Does anyone know what size front wheels fit on this car . Were using the wilwood 6 piston brakes also.
I was thinking a 8" but possibly a 7"

any help would be great

Jason, I got one in here right now. We are running an 18x7 reverse lip (so measures 18x8) with a 215/40/18 tire and a bs of 4.5". Chassisworks recommends up to an 8" wide wheel with 4.5" bs and a tire with an overall height of 25".

18x7's with a 225/40/18. That is what we ran on Jon's 67 with the Alston sub.

Just that.... no explaination as to why ?

FYI:
225/35/18 is 24.3 tall with a 9.1" section on a 8" wide wheel.

215/40/18 is 24.7 tall with a 8.7" section on a 8" wide wheel.

Really not that much different.

Now that I think about it I could have swore we ran a 225/40/18 on Jon's car. I will double check it tomorrow and re-post.
