Just got the new tires and wheels put on the dart and I thought I would share since there are a lot of questions if these will fit. I have a SBP 8 3/4 rear and have installed the 3/4 offset hangers and shackles. I also installed Super Stock 002 and 003 Springs. The rear tires are M/T street radials 275/60/15 on custom made 15x8 steel wheels with 5 inches of backspace. I only had to roll the lip to make them work. Fronts are 15x3.5 centerlines with 155/80/15 radials. So far no rubbing and I love the old school look! Here are some pictures.

Old skool rules.Most old skool guys remember when it did not matter how it handled.Just how fast it went,Kevin
 
I love how it handles! The front comes up really well and it throws you directly back in your seat and keeps you there just like it's supposed to!
 
that definitly makes the car look badass! I love it! It's much better than that stupid 20" wheels, goofy look, so many go for....
 
I love the stance.. Always looks mean with a rake and ton of meat stuffed under the quarters.. Only thing I am not big on is the black steelies out back.. but I realize thats the old school way.. Still, looks bad *** dude
 
cool, i like it! Did you flip the front hanger for the springs? i´ll get my SS-Springs in a few days and i´m a little concerned about the car sitting too high.....yours is great!

Nice combo, Copper Dart. I'm going to be running the same tire sizes on my Centerlines for my '69 Dart. My wheels are 15x6 and 15x8

I used the Mopar Performance 3/4 offset hangers and shackles so there is no way to flip the front hanger. I used the SS 002 003 springs so it sits a little higher on the passeger side. Helps to launch straight but I like the stance on the driver's side better. These pictures make it look a little more raked than it is because it's sitting a little down hill in this parking lot.

I thought about torque thrust wheels up front but couldn't find any in the small bolt pattern. I've always liked centerlines though.
