Re: Rich " Mr. Chevy's" 1970 Chevrolet Nova SS 396/375
Bill, the rears are M&H Cheater slicks on 14x7 Cragars. The fronts are Coker Firestone, 670-15, Bias-Ply, Blackwall on 15x6 Cragars.. The fronts are the same set up Grady has on his blue 69 Chevelle 300 that was at the Chevelle show this year..
Bill, your gold Nova looks great!! I love the look of the 5 spoke SS wheels with the bias ply wide ovals that you have on it in the restoration thread of the car... Thanks guys for the compliments... Rich

Re: Rich " Mr. Chevy's" 1970 Chevrolet Nova SS 396/375
Thanks Rich. Grady did tell me he has the 15's on the front, and 14's in the back. How does the car ride with the slicks and thinner tires up front? I know it's not gonna ride like a good set of radials, but do the slicks ride like any bias ply tire would?
Also I assume both front and rear Cragars have the larger back spacing? I think the fronts hava a 3.375" back spacing, and the rears are 4.125"....?

Yes Bill, that sounds correct on the back spacing, I actually can't remember now what exactly the measurements were.. I know one of the big things with the back spacing is for disc brake clearance.. The car rides very good believe it or not.. Of course nothing rides like radials.. But you would be surprised how nice it actually rides..

Re: Rich " Mr. Chevy's" 1970 Chevrolet Nova SS 396/375
The only other back spacing available on the 15 x 6 Cragar's, is 2"...and 2.5 on the rear. I assume those are the "deep dish" wheels...not good for Nova's.
Rich, Your Nova looks great, as well as Grady's with the Cragar's/slicks/skinnies up front. I think I'll go that route, unless I decide to stick with white steelies in the back.
