I just bought a set of 15"x6" Kelsey Hayes Stripper wheels and I am thinking of putting them on my 1970 Nova for the summer. I think bias ply tires would look the best but they are out of my budget. Any ideas on what size radial tire would look best?

I took a quick look but it looks about 4 inches of back spacing.

Dan I sent you the information. How about 215/65/15 fronts and 235/60/15 drag radials on the back? Would the rears be too wide for a 6" wide wheel? I know Joe runs a 275 or 295 50 series TA with 15"x7" wheels on the back of his silver 1969 SS350 Nova and you just can not beat the look.

Mark, I actually have 275-60-15 Diamond Back red lines now. Don't think you've seen it with them yet(?). They, too, might be "out of your budget", but they do fit pretty good. They are a little more "square" looking than the BFG's I used to have. Kinda like a bias-ply. They are Firestone Fire-Hawks. I know that I'm going to be at the Donut Shop on Saturday, May 9th. My brother is coming into town. Maybe we could meet up then??
Joe P.S. I have a "Nova Annual" for you!! ![]()

I ran H70/14 RWL Goodyears on the back and E or F/70 14's on the front RWL. I don't think they are too expensive Mark. I know Don White has those type of tires in stock.
