1968 - Dart GT - Need Wheel & Tire Suggestion
Hello,
I'm finally getting my 68' Dart GT that's been in my family since new and passed down to me years ago moving. Time to get it from the barn and down to my house. I've finally gotten my garage / shop renovation done and my Street / strip 68' Valiant needs a friend!
It's a 273 car (40k orig miles), Burgundy w/ black vinyl top and black vinyl/leather interior and console shift. The car is like a time capsule and in amazing condition since it's been covered and on stands since the 80's.
Over the years, we've changed out rear suspension to super stock springs, had it re-painted about 5-6 years ago and kept up engine maintenance, fluids..etc I've got the Mopar electronic ignition distributor kit to swap into it this weekend.
It has factory 13" Factory steel wheels with caps, but they have been sitting and not on the road since the mid 80's. This will be a weekend cruiser / nice weather only car that will remain in stock form.
I want to keep it factory/period correct, but wouldn't mind having 15" Rallye wheels ( 15x7 rear & 15x6 up front) But also the factory steel wheels with caps are a great look as well.
Any suggestions on wheel / tire size combo, I would love to hear them!
I've got lots of big pattern wheels kicking around, but nothing small.
I'm inclined to go the Rallye wheel route, since I have steelies on my Valiant but I am very open to suggestions.
I don't have any pictures right now, but will snap some this weekend.
Here's a few of the street / strip Valiant for now!
