I have 205/70R14 on my stock 67 dart with stock steel wheels etc, saggy springs. plenty of clearance front and back, BUT... there is signs that the rear tires have rubbed the inner fender well a little. Its not from straight up and down (there is 1 inch inside and outside tire to fender clearance.) it is a convertible so could have something to do with body flex?
Have you ever replaced the rear shackle bushings? Good place for Poly.
My rule of thumb is tread width should be plus or minus 1/2" of rim width.
Thanks for all the input...I guess I will have to ponder it a bit? Leaning towards the 215 option.
Any chance of a picture of one of your darts with the 215’s? Curious about stance and look? Thank you.69 Dart 14"× 5.5" wheel.
I think you will be real happy with the 215/70-14 tires.
I have that size on 2 of my Darts.
I too would like to see photos.Any chance of a picture of one of your darts with the 215’s?
What is the largest 14" tire that will fit properly on a 5.5 rim without any rubbing? 215/70/14 or 225/70/14 tire size? Application is stock 69 Swinger. Thanks.

Yes they both look great! Nice cars BTW. The 215's suit both cars nicely. You sold me!Both of these cars have Chrysler 14"× 5.5" small bolt steel wheels.

Cool convertible, up hear in Canada it was a Valiant not a Dart for that year. 66 is it? This was my 67, I sold 10 years back.Right on....Glad I could help.
Thanks for the pictures & info. I don't think I've seen a white vinyl top & white stripe before? Nice look!No rubbing on either set.

Yes true, not much room for sure. Was your other 69 a real V2 Orange?? Or did you just paint it Orange? A 69 V2 Swinger is very rare! A friend of mine actually has a V2 with white stripe. It was built very late in 69 production.Thanks, my last 69 Swinger was orange with black vinyl and black stripe, but I like the white much better! Good luck with your tire decision - not a lot of room in these A-body fenders for big tires.
Thanks for the pics. I was planning on putting 205 70 14 on my 69 Barracuda, but it looks like the 215s will be fine.Both of these cars have Chrysler 14"× 5.5" small bolt steel wheels.
