Are they 16"?

All of the 4th gens I've seen with those skinny tires looked really bad because the offset forces the rim to the very outer edge of the fender well.

Try a search for dedicated drag cars, I don't have any pics.

The rear rotors are a bit smaller in diameter than the fronts and I've heard of guys grinding the calipers down to fit 15" rims on them, but never on the front. I'm not sure it's even possible.

Spacers are going to make the tires stick out even more.

Are the bolt patterns the same? I was thinking the old Novas used a 5x4.5 pattern.
If you have both, just stick it on and see.

yeah they are the same, just didnt know if someone had a pic of their car if they have these wheels. dont have photoshop or i would have played with it, but working so much doesnt give me too much time to spend with my girlfriends at the shop. i.e nova and formula lol. You think they would look okay?

I've always liked that style of rim. A 9" wide version of the centerline frontrunners would look best to me. From the side it should look good. They just stick out a lot. I think it would be a matter of personal preference.
