The first rally wheel offered on a Chevy II was 1967. It was a code DA & was 14x5...Joe

That company offers many wheel sizes & offsets that were never offered from the factory. 15 x 4 is one of those they probably designed for cars with front fender problems...Joe

In 1964 and 1965, Chevy II Nova only had 4" wide rims, when the wheel was 13" and the tire size was 6:00 x 13.
Next 13" was 13" x 5.5"
Next rim size then went to 5" X 14".
No factory 4" wide rim with a 14" diameter.
