Anybody have pics of 18s on an a body?Preferably a dart or scamp. Just want to see how theyou fill out
Beautiful blu! Same question though, any modifications to fit them height wise? I'm guessing you tabbed it to fit the width in the rear but did you add any extra height too?
Thanks! Love that look, did you need to modify anything to fit them
that was then and this is now. I just plasti dipped them.I use a set of 2005 magnum 18" rims on my 73 duster. On the rear the stock rims and tires fit but I have a little bit wider the normal a body axle so that the deeply in set rims don't come in and touch the leaf springs which could be a problem with a stock with rear axle it may need a little bit of spacing. as stated the front need a smaller Tire and either a three-quarter inch spacer or have the center of the rim bugged out because the old style hub is deeper and bigger, but the bolt pattern is the same.

You all must live somewhere that doesn't have potholes! I gave up on having 50 series tires by 1990, having had to pound out bent steel rims straight again a few times.
How do you put broken cast rims back together?
Offsets?

I hear about broken rims frequently here in Chicago, and I see all the new cars with super low profile tires creeping ever so slowly across the tiniest of bumps.
