I ended up ordering the 7" wide and I'll run a 205 tire, just like what's on there. Based on my measurements it should fit almost identical to exactly what's on there now.

So new update. I've found the ability to get the wheels sooner. much sooner. I just need to know what to do about the front wheels. My choice is either a 15x4 with 1.75" BS or a 15x7 with a 4" backspace. I was planning on going with the 15x4 but I'm a little concerned tha tthe car will be...

Ok fellas I need some advice and insight here. I've got a 73 dart that's been mini-tubbed, including the outer fender well to allow the 315 tires that I have to fit under the rear end and up into the wells. I'm moving the springs and of course narrowing the rear. My plan is to get the car as low...

After some reading I think I'm going to narrow the rear. It will save weight and the deep dish wheels will look much better.

So let me ask what might be a stupid question. But once I move my springs and do my mini tubs, how do I know if I need to narrow the rear. Obviously if I had wheels already I could just measure. If I put the tires where I want I will probably get a good idea. I realize the wheels will bring the...

I won't be painting it. It's got great paint on it already.

I really think this is the way I'm going to go. Was it you Hemi who picked up that duster out of Akron a few years back with the 4 link and 325s and 4 speed? I believe it was from a military member.

That's not bad at all. I can't imagine that was too bad of a job to do. So did you not weld to the quarter then? I hope you don't mind if I PM and ask a few questions. You really have it sitting like I'd like to. Any pics from the rear of the car?

That's exactly the kind of look I'm going for! What size wheel are you running. I'm assuming you narrowed the rear? It looks like it in the photo. Did you run your tubs all the way to the quarter? And are those 15s?

If I may ask, can you guys tell me what the best wheel width would be for the size tire? 15x10?

Yes sir.

You guys are awesome! I've got a great direction to go. I think I will start by moving the leafs in and moving the perches. After that I think I'll get the wheels and tires I want to run and try and tuck them up in. If they don't go, I'll go to a mini-tub. I'll roll the fender lip up in no...

That's what I was thinking. This is largely a boulevard brawler. I'm not going bracket racing. But right now the 245s won't put the power down. They spin like crazy. Great for smokey burnouts. Not so much for coming off the line. I think it all comes down to if I need to narrow the rear end and...

Yes it's a 8 3/4. I believe it's a B body rear. I'm trying to keep this a low budget as possible of course as this is mostly a street car I want to have some fun with. But I know I will have to spend some money. Yes I can weld and do fab work very regularly. I have a good MIG and a TIG. The only...

Thanks for the good info guys. I'm just getting rolling with this but I want to try and get it done sooner than later before other projects get in the way. I run a european performance garage and right now is our slow season except for a few long term projects. I really want to get the tire up...
