Tire and rim for 69 dart

skep419 said

205/70's hit the front wheel lip on my car. I've run 215/60's (work. Best on 15x7's), 205/60's (work best on 15x6's), 205/65's, 165/80's, 215/55R17's.

I've read of people using 225/60's with 15x7 cop car wheels on all 4 corners.

I like the 17" charger steelies only because I work at a tire shop and 17" burnout tires are way more popular.

The front wheels are 15x5.5.
I am looking at the BFG 215/70-15. They have a diameter of 26.9 which more or less matches with the back 245/60-15 at a diameter of 26.60.
The 15x5.5's have a back space or 3 1/2" and I am mounting them on a 73 Duster K member and 11.75 disc set up. I'm not really sure how the car will sit when its on the ground. As everything is new, rear leafs, qa1 uppers and lowers in the front.

Will the 215/70-15's rub in the front with the 15x 5.5 wheel with 3.5" of backspace.
Hopefully 72blunblu will chime in, he seems to be the A body wheel expert !
