1979 Chevrolet Nova Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1979 Chevrolet Nova—whether Base or Custom trim—uses a 5x120.65 bolt pattern with a 70.3mm hub bore. The stock setup runs 14x6 wheels at 11mm offset. You can step up to 14x7, or move to 15-inch fitments including 15x6, 15x6.5, 15x7, or 15x8. Since the Nova runs square fitment front to rear, staggered sizing isn't a concern here.
Keep in mind that only 5x120.65 bolts onto this car—no other pattern will work. The hub bore sits at 70.3mm, so if your wheel's center bore exceeds that, use hub-centric rings to ensure proper seating. Wider wheels and more aggressive offsets can risk contact with the fender or suspension components, so verify clearance before committing to extreme plus-sizing.
Every wheel listed for the Nova is guaranteed to bolt on and qualifies for free shipping across the lower 48 states. American Racing, US Mag 1PC, Vision, WELD Performance, and Forgestar all have inventory ready to ship for your classic.
