Agreed!
They might be L60-14's, but not 15's as I had a set of 15's on my first Nova - had to jack the rear end up pretty tall to keep the lips from cutting into the tires

I'm almost positive I had L60-15's on my Nova, shown below...BFGoodrich Radial T/A's on Corvette Rallys...I rolled the inner lip a bit, though

Not sure those are L60's they look like radials, but a lot depends on backspacing - or rolling the lip I'll try to dig up a pic of my first Nova with the L60-15's, they were really square and made a major racket when the lips came down on them.

One night while racing 5 wide on the Roosevelt Blvd in Philadelphia, I hit a low spot on the road. The lip came down, sliced the bulge of the sidewall, and left a strip rubber dangling off of the tire. That stupid strip flailed around and slapped rubber streaks all over my new cortez silver paint job Then again, I could have stopped

My brother-in-law had '69 Z. I remember helping him "roll the lip" so we could put a set of Mickey Thompson L-60s on it.

I thought SC Kid was talking about the FRONT of the car. It is higher than the rear.

I don't know...they could have been smaller (Thanks SC69Sam ) I just may be old. I DO know that I rolled the lip due to tire interference, though....
