Want to go Bigger!

[JamesRR]

Hola all! I have a 74 Duster stock 8.25 rear. I am going to get a new set of leaf springs +1 inch over stock and I am looking to get some wider wheels and tires for the rear. I am wanting to go with Cragar SS mags. What is the widest that would fit this application without rubbing? The leaf springs are in the original location. Not relocated. What back spacing and width am I looking for? Thanks guys.

Would going with a +2" over stock leaf be better?

It helps if you state the car the 8.25 rear is going into. I mean your avatar shows a 64-66 barracuda but you could be sticking it in a dart or duster etc.

You can get an awful lot of tire under a 74 Duster.

Those wheel wells are enormous!

I had a 67 B body 8 3/4, 15x6.5 rallyes (not sure of BS) and IIRC, 235 60 15, but could go way bigger.

I meant I have a 74 Duster WITH the stock rear under it. I typed that poorly. Sorry for the confusion. Curious what people have fit under the rear on these.
