will 3 1/2" offsets fit? Alum slots on 74 Duster?

Pics would be great. That was the info I was looking for also. Yeah- he has the 14x7 and 14x9 fentons that-as he told me last light- only saw 2 years on a car and never in bad weather. I have my rear leafs set at 2" above stock height. But as we both know-14" tires are getting scarce and finding them to be wide enough to fit qa 9" wide rime are even harder and about $150 each. If he had all 14x6 and 14x7, then I would be more inclined. The 9" wide rear rims are scaring me a little lol. My regular email is [email protected] if you want to send the pics that way? Whichever is easier. If you have them on facebook-I have a facebook also-use same email for fb page lookup.

the only real downfall of a wide 14" rim is finding a tire that would fit and look good. its kind of a trial and error. a 70 series tire is taller but not as wide as a 60. i dont care for a 50 series either as there is a lot less wall and they are even wider than a 60. for a 14 x 7 I would use a 185 65 14 and for a 14 x (8.5) or 9 , i would use a 245 60 14 or similar. its really just a matter of preference in the look you are after. i have cragars,slots,centerlines,and steels all of the 15" variety because of the vast array of tire size options.i am also going to buy a set of 15" rallyes soon because i also like that factory look. i cant find the pics of the duster with the slots (damnit lol) but the fronts are 15x7 3 1/2 backspace with 195/65/15s and they do not rub or hit anything .
