Looks great brother, now get to the body work!

What is are rears BS?

I just got a 69 Nova and my Livewires are going on it.

I can check tonight, but I am sure Jon will be able to locate the BS easier. The rear-end was narrowed down to 56" flange-to-flange, and if needed, I can confirm that tonight as well.

The car does have DSE mini-tubs.

Wow! That Nova has the perfect stance! The Fuel wheels look great on it. After seeing how good your Nova looks with them on it, that sold me on getting a set. I like the titianium centers with the polished rims. Gonna look great! Keep us posted on your progress!

Thanks Tony, just give Jon @ Driverz a call, he will get you all set up with both the wheels and tires.

The Rear Backspacing is:

Drivers: 4.375"
Passenger: 5.00"

I guess you could say that they are about 4.625" BS. For some reason the axle was offset more than usual and caused this difference. The wheels are also set at the outer most edge as possible, so that might contribute to the larger difference as well.

I still have yet to find our Currie paperwork for the rear-end. Hope that info helps though.

Awesome. Give me a call when you are ready and we'll be sure to set you up with the right fit, and we can mount and balance and send them all together for you if you buy tires from us too.
