1973 Dart Swinger Owners + 17" Rims

Also, I think I'm going to add a 1/4" spacer on each side, in the rear, to better center the wheels in the wheel wells. Will I need longer studs with 1/4" spacers?

Doing so should allow for 1" of outside sidewall flex and 3/4" of inboard sidewall flex. I'm pretty sure 3/4" is about the minimum space allowable without sidewall "scrubbing" under hard cornering w/ 50 series tires.
