1973 Chevrolet Nova Base Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1973 Chevrolet Nova Base fastens with a 5x120.65 bolt pattern. Factory equipment is a 14x5 wheel at 14mm offset. You can step up to 15-inch diameter or widen the rim anywhere from 14x5 through 15x6.5, giving you solid flexibility for period looks or modern performance builds without sacrificing fitment.
The 5x120.65 bolt pattern is unique to this vehicle, so verify fitment before ordering. Your hub requires a 70.3mm center bore; if your chosen wheel's bore exceeds that, hub-centric rings keep everything centered properly. Going too wide or too aggressive on offset risks contact with fenders and suspension, so stay within the compatible range to avoid rubbing.
Every wheel we stock for your Nova bolts on correctly and ships free throughout the lower 48 states. American Racing, WELD Performance, Forgestar, and Vision are among the quality brands ready to ship to you right now.
