At an impasse with rear wheel/tire fitment

Hi Tyler,

Used to live a few miles away, spent a lot of time skiing on the lake. One of the South's best kept secrets IMO.

I have two Darts, a 72 Demon and a 73 Dart Custom. Both have BBP disk brakes, front anti-roll bars, 7¼ BBP rear axles, and 15 x 7 (4¼" BS) (Cop car, Magnum 500s).

I tried 255/60-15 on the cop car wheels on the Demon. Rear tire was ¼" from spring. Front tire would not fit under fender. I called Stockton Wheel and asked for recommendations. They advised 235/60-15 which is snug but workable. It bottoms out in the fender up front on turns. The next time I get tires for this car, I'm going to go to 225/60-15.

The Dart Custom has 205/60-15. I set up the front end following the recommendations of AutoXCuda. Powered by a /6, the car is the epitome of a momentum machine. The tires do not rub anywhere. I had some concern that the smaller tire on the Dart might look a bit dorky. Form your own opinion.
