'70 Nova Wheel Pics (Rushforth)

[street3285]

First want to say thanks to thanks to both Jon @ Driverz & Jason @ Rushforth Wheels. They are great people to work with and were really helpful through the the whole process.

Please disregard the bodywork :D .... still have a lot of work to do, but wanted to show how the wheels look. The front sits pretty high right now, so the side shot has been photoshopped down. Here are the specs:

Rushforth Fuels
Smoked Titanium Center, Polished Outer

20x10

Looks good, Travis. Thanks for posting up. You should start a project thread with your rendering too or are you keeping it under wraps?

What you forgot to mention is that you bought that thing as a beat up bone stock runner at a GoodGuys show not too long ago and have done all the work yourselves! Keep it up!

Thanks for the comments guys, this site has been really helpful.
The rendering is too large for my scanner, but I just remembered I saw it on the Rushforth Wheels site.

Here is a link to our build thread '70 Nova (http://www.lateral-g.net/forums/showthread.php4?t=14030)

Right on Trav! And to think a year ago we towed that sucker home.

Looks like the extra measuring we did paid off! I pulled a couple of tricks with Travis' rear wheels and played with the pad lengths since the offsets on his rear wheels needed to be different. With adjusting the pad length, they both have the same amount of wheel lip exposed. :yes:

Looks great brother, now get to the body work! :rofl:

Very cool, ballsy cars these big Novas and you can fit big wheels and it looks cool, cool wheels

Awesome look,that is my next wheel combo when this economy turns itself around.:thumbsup:

The spokes on the Fuel's are proportioned just right and the little design details that Jason incorporated really set it apart from the sea of 5-spoke wheels on the market.:yes:

Looks very,very killer...you should be damn proud.

Thanks for the comments. The Fuels fit the car I think and the Smoked Titanium should look good with the charcoal.

Just need to keep making progress so it can be on the road!

What is are rears BS?

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

[street3285]

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!:thumbsup:

[street3285]

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

What is are rears BS?

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.

SICK!!! those 20's look great on th rear:thumbsup:

[Bad94]

I have 18x10 with 4.5" BS, i know that will work.

[tones2SS]

OH YEAH!!!!
I'm digging it. Looks good.:thumbsup: :cheers:

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. :cheers:
