30x9 Slicks Nova

Grant Eldridge · 06-10-2015, 02:12 AM

On my '70 Nova I ran the 30x9" Hoosier radials on 10" rims with 5.5" Backspacing. I had to roll up the inner fender lip, also do some beating on a few spots on the inner wheelhouse and carefully center the rear end housing but they did fit with some effort. Not sure if the 74 is exactly the same rear fender contours, but think it could be done....The tires I ran were radials, but if you run bias you'll have to take that into consideration at the front of the tire due to the extra growth as others have mentioned...
