Re: Narrower Track

For aluminum wheels --- http://www.bogartracingwheels.com/ --- He cnc's every wheel to order for you. He can make any offset, any width size, any back spacing --- since all he does is punch into computer and the rims are done.

Prices are very reasonable depending on the rim selection.

Re: Narrower Track

After you cut the Bravada frame, how are you going to match it to the firewall mounts? My brother and I are working on a Nova wagon...interested in seeing your progress pics.

Re: Narrower Track

I am a nova owner myself, restored 2, started to hot rod another before moving onto the syty world, actually the reason I bought my ty was to put the drivetrain in my nova. (never happened).

Honestly you would be better off with making new frame rails and designing your own a arms/front diff mount. An s10 chassis scabbed on the front is going to look, well just that scabbed IMO.

Narrower a arms is going to cause you a LOT of geometry issues, from bump steer, caster/camber curves, ackerman angles, scrub radius (which different offset tires will also cause this).

If those above terms don't make sense you may want to do some more suspension related research or hire someone to build a front that does. Just my 2 cents.

I think it would be cool, very cool done right and have thought about building a nova a few times in the last couple years.
