WILL 15X7'' WHEELS FIT ON BACK OF 1970 NOVA?
 
Hi,I currently have 14x7 SS wheels with 225/70/14 tires.Will 15x7 wheels with 225/60/15 tires fit the back wheel wells of my 1970 Nova?And if I make the switch how much are my wheels and tires worth to sell?The wheels are in almost perfect shape,aftermarket trim rings and BF GOODRICH RWL tires with 80-85% tread.Any help would be appreciated.Thanks.Bill.

What is the back spacing of the 15X7 wheels? Are they GM Rally wheels?

I would think your SS wheels and tires are worth $600-$800 if they are original YA or AO wheels and not repops? IMO

The back space on the 15x7 wheels is 4.25".The code on the wheels is M40 7 22 LZ.Bill.

Does anyone know what M40 7 22 LZ means on my SS wheels?And the 15x7 wheels that I'm looking at are Cragars.

The LZ code wheel is actually a Olds wheel that is similar to the Chevy SS wheel.

Like these:

I don't know how rare they are. Probably about the same value as the SS wheel set. I tink the dimensions are the same the Olds wheels were just chrome originally..

The 15" wheels you reference will fit, you could likely go as big as a 255 without much trouble. Stay away from a 275 though!
