    I got a 65 Nova and im rebuilding the rear wheel wells.
    Im gonna put some nice slicks in the back and i dont really know how big and wide im gonna go.
    I will cut the wheel wells open like a "gasser" so i can pretty much put what i like in the back.
    Im thinking aboute 28 or 29high and 11,5 wide.
    Anyone got some pics so i can see how different sizes look?

    On my '64 (25 years ago) I ran N50-15's on a 10" rim which kept the tread even with the outer wheelwell lip.

    I vant them to be alittle wider than the fenders so they stick out a bit.
    Got 10 inch rims in the back now.

    If you've got 10" rims, I would move the springs inboard so when you radius the wheelwells, the tires will be flush with the lip with an 11" tire. I ran 10,5" slicks on my '62 Chevy II. Moved the springs inboard and trimmed the lip. It fit with the stock wheelwell after the inside lip was trimmed. I was running an 8" rim.

    As i wrote before im cutting up the wheel wells so i dont have to move the springs to mount wider wheels.
