Anyone know if a 7" wide 15" magnum w/4 1/4" backspace and 235/60/15 B.F.G will fit on front (73 disc brakes),and then on rear (8 1/4" all LBP)will same wheel fit with 245/60/15 B.F.G. S/S springs? 72 Dart Swinger.
 
I tried 225/60-15 on 15x7 Ralley wheels with 4.25 in back spacing on the front of my 68 Baracuda with 73 disk brakes. Straight ahead they were fine but when you turned the wheel the one with the front edge turning into the fender would contact the front edge of the fender. Don't know if with the shape of the fender well opening on the Swinger that would be the same but 235/60's its going to be very likely.

I have 255/60 on 15x8 rims with 4.5" of back spacing on the rear and there is plentey of clearance.
 
I've got a 71, so not much different. I'm running cop car rims with the same dimensions. 225's on front and 245's on the rear with SS springs. Im running an 8 3/4 thought with BBP Yukon axles which have a different length from flange to mount plate. If I had 4.5 in. of BS on the rims, I could run 255's on the rear. I think the 235's on the front might be tight. Mine are pretty close as it is.
