KMC Nova Wheels

Is anyone running the KMC Novas on one of our trucks, particularry one that is bagged? I know they make them in a 5x5 lug pattern now, and they come as big as a 22x11... Seems like a good looking wheel with a price that is not dirt cheap, but not as expensive as billets. Would these work on a laying frame (raised crossmember and 4 linked) 67 with a 72 rear axel? I think a staggered 20x8.5 and 22x11 setup would look pretty sweet!!

Re: KMC Nova Wheels

Here's a closer pic of the wheels. They come in chrome, machined/black, and polished lip with a mag grey center.



I did some looking, and from what I see They come in the following sizes:

20x8.5 w/ 0 offset>>>>>4.75 BS
20x10 w/ +18 offset>>>>6.2 BS
20x10 w/ +35 offset>>>6.87 BS
22x9 w/ +15 offset>>>>5.59 BS
22x11 w/ +18 offset>>>6.7 BS

Maybe they would need a spacer in the rear, like the Boss 338s?

Re: KMC Nova Wheels

Moderators, can you move this to the suspension section where it will get more views from members dealing with bagged trucks?

Re: KMC Nova Wheels

Not enough backspace for me,... using the 20x8.5's up front.
The 22's might work.

Re: KMC Nova Wheels

TTT, I am in the "planning" stages for a Blazer project and I'd love to see a 67-72 with these on it.

Re: KMC Nova Wheels

I'm actually wandering the same thing Colin, I'm wanting to run the 22x9 Novas up front and 22x11's out back. My truck is bagged and body dropped laying frame. It does not have a Porter Built crossmember but whoever had the truck before me did some serious work to the stock crossmember (hence it laying frame). I'm just trying to figure out if I'll have any fitment issues running those big 22's upfront without the narrowed track width of the PB crossmember. UGH!
