Chevrolet NOVA Wheels

A '68–'74 NOVA rolls on a 5x120 bolt pattern with a 70.30mm hub bore, and that's the starting point for any wheel swap on these cars. OE came with 14-inch rims, but I've mounted everything from stock replacements up to 26-inch show pieces on these platforms—the offset and backspacing just have to be right, and the hub-centric ring needs to sit flush or you'll get vibration at highway speeds. I see a lot of folks want to upgrade from the original 215/70-14 rubber, and there's plenty of room to work with if you're smart about fitment.

For a NOVA, I stock OE-style 14-inch replacements in steel and alloy, plus the popular 17, 18, 20, and 22-inch sizes in gloss black, machined, and bronze finishes. The key is offset—most aftermarket wheels run +20 to +45mm depending on width, and on a NOVA you want to keep the sidewall from rubbing the strut housing, especially on the front. I always measure the hub bore on every set before they go on the car; a loose fit there is asking for trouble. Brake clearance is usually not an issue unless you're running big calipers, but I'll flag it if I see a problem during the pre-install.

When your NOVA comes in, my crew runs a hub-centric fit check, seats the TPMS sensors if you've got them, road-force balances every wheel, and torques the lugs to spec—usually 80 lb-ft on these. We've been doing this work in-house for fifteen years here in Marietta, and I don't cut corners on the install. Walk-ins are welcome, and we speak English and Spanish.

We mount these for folks across Marietta, East Cobb, and Roswell. If you need financing, Synchrony Car Care runs a 6-month promo on purchases over $199, and Acima does lease-to-own starting at $10. Call me at (678) 400-6467, walk in at 1585 Roswell Rd, or book online.
