Chevrolet Nova Spare Tire Fitment Guide
The Chevrolet Nova used 4x100 mm and 5x4.75" (5x120.7 mm) bolt pattern variations from 1962 to 1988 along with tire diameters ranging from 22.8" to 25.5" tall. Using a temporary compact spare tire with a diameter close to the standard tire has many benefits, especially for modern vehicle applications.
The tire diameter and the wheel diameter clearance have been taken into account for the specific Chevrolet Nova years and options. In this case, 125/80R15 and 125/80R17 spare tire sizes are used to avoid vehicle components while closely matching the original tire size diameters. We've provided a breakdown by vehicle generation and model specifics to help you find the correct Chevrolet Nova spare tire.
