1987 Chevrolet Nova Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
The 1987 Chevrolet Nova uses a 4x100 bolt pattern and comes stock with 13x5 wheels at a 40mm offset. You can step up to 13x5.5, 14x5.5, 14x6, 15x6, or 15x6.5 sizes while maintaining compatibility. Since your Nova isn't staggered, any of these options work equally well front and rear.
Keep in mind that only the 4x100 bolt pattern will fit your Nova—no other patterns are compatible. The hub bore measures 54.1mm, so use hub-centric rings if your new wheels have a larger center bore. Aggressive offsets or widths beyond what's listed risk interference with fenders and suspension, so stick to the compatible sizes we've verified.
All wheels listed here bolt straight on and ship free throughout the lower 48 states. Vors, Work Wheels, Motegi Racing, and Enkei are among the quality brands we have in stock for your Nova right now.
