1973 Chevrolet Nova Base Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1973 Chevrolet Nova Base bolts on with a 5x120.65 pattern. The stock setup runs 14x5 wheels at a 15 offset. You can step up to 15-inch diameter or go wider within the same diameter—options range from 14x5 up to 14x7.5, plus 15-inch variants from 15x5 to 15x6.5. Since your Nova runs square, not staggered, choose wheel widths based on your fitment preference and brake clearance.
When shopping, remember that only the 5x120.65 bolt pattern will work on this car. Your hub's 70.3mm center bore means you'll want hub-centric rings if your wheel's bore measures larger. Jumping to significantly wider or more aggressive offsets risks contact with the fender or suspension components, so measure twice before going to extremes.
All wheels listed here are verified to fit your Nova and ship free across the lower 48 states. American Racing, US Mag 1PC, Performance Replicas, Vision, and several other quality brands are in stock and ready to ship.
