    Advice asked for widthening rims on a 70 Duster

    @halfafish: that is very cool, thnx, i love the stance with the 205/70 combined with the 245's. It makes me wanna go to 7 inch with a 235, 245 or 255. In front i will need to go from the current 205/75/14 on a 5.5 J rim to a 205/70/14 on that same rim. In the back I can easily go from 5.5 J to...

    Advice asked for widthening rims on a 70 Duster

    Tinman2, thnx..!! That car has the perfect looks on its wheels... 275 would probably better he says... Still pretty wide I will have to recalculate.. 295/50 would mean its height is 50% of 295 mm. Somewhere just a little less then 6 inches then

    Advice asked for widthening rims on a 70 Duster

    George Jets, yeah, I was thinking that too. To solve the problem of the car being too high in the front I was thinking to go to 205/70 instead of the 75 currently. That way the stance will be better I assume, when 235/60/14 are mounted in the back. There would be only a difference in height...

    Advice asked for widthening rims on a 70 Duster

    Cool, but that tyre size isnt available in 14". What would height 60 do on a 14" / 235? Compared to the front wheel which is 205/75/14?

    Advice asked for widthening rims on a 70 Duster

    Hi all, I need some help. I have a 70 Duster, stock height. 8 3/4 rear axle. Small bolt pattern (5x4"). Current rims and tyres are all 4: 14" x 5.5 J rims with 205/75/14 tyres. In front I am pretty confident, tyres might be 70 high instead of 75. In the back I want to go wider. Now I found...

    "Nice car"

    Yes, the #'s are matching, except for one thing. When I bought the car the front seats weren't usable anymore at all, so I replaced them with 1985 Volvo seats as they fold away to the side, just as the original seats. I also gave the seats away to a guy who was restoring a Challenger. Dumb...

    "Nice car"

    Most of the people where I live don't usually see an American car at all. When they do it's normally not that old, so most people don't even know what car it is, other than that it is an old American. When I am driving I get a lot of thumbs up and kids turning their heads and pointing out to...

    Bumper Guards on a 70-72 Duster

    @1972DusterPaul: As you can see there are not 2 holes above eachother on each side close to the numberplate. At my bumper there is only 1. However, my bumperguard is mounted the same way as yours and there has never been changed a bumper on this car nor added the guards later. This is all...
