Need Help with 66 Dart Wheels and Tires
I'm already down this road. Here are the measurements and photos of my 66 Valiant. I'm going to KH discs in the front, so got the SBP 14" wheels/tires ahead of time. The fronts are stock 4.5x14 with 205/70/14's on them. The rears are 7x14 with about 5.5" backspace (it's a little hard to figure while mounted on the car) and 245/60/14's on them. The front wheels are stock. The rears were made by the guy I got them from - he took SBP centers and welded them to a set of Ford 14x7 rims. I'm guessing your Dart is about the same configuration as my Valiant in terms of size and shape. The fronts fit fine with plenty of clearance. The rears are for sure all the tire and wheel I can get under there without moving the springs, radiusing the fenders, or tubbing. I have about 3/8" clearance to the spring, and a finger's width to the fender well. However, I really like the subtle look as I'm building this as a sleeper.
