My Right rear wheel rubbing...

It's not that the tires are too wide, it's that the backspace on those rims is totally wrong. Being Centerlines they probably have very little backspace, because with the right backspace you should be able to fit 245/60/15's on a '72 Dart, especially if you already rolled the quarter lip back a bit.
Its the original 7 1/4 rear...sigh. The outsid

Narrower tires depends on how wide those rims are, if they're 7" wide rims you may not be able to go narrower. For example, a 195/70/15 isn't supposed to be mounted on anything wider than a 6" rim.

So, your options are to buy a new set of springs that will raise the back of the car so the tires don't rub, or buy a set of rims that have the proper backspace for your car. Something in the ballpark of a 15x7 with 4.25" of backspace would be a much better start, although that will depend on what rear axle you've got and what bolt pattern axles and brakes you have.[/QUOT

Quick question...
is the rear the original rear?
what is the back spacing of the center-lines?
has any of the rear suspension been changed IE spring perches, spring mounts moved etc.?

You originally stated that the inner fender panel is where it was rubbing than said you used a baseball bat to roll the fender lip.

Is the rub on the inside of the tire to the inner fender or the outside of the tire to the outer fender lip?

Its tge original 7 1/4" rear...sigh, spring perches are un modified. The outside of the tire rubs the fender in big dips. After reading all of your posts and running a ruler around the spaces. I have come to the conclusion that the 15" rear centerlines have too shallow of a bowl to use on my swinger and stick out just a bit too much. Looks like Ill have to find myself a set of ralleye wheels to swap them out. Im sure ill find a good home for them. I'm not going to cut open any wells so thank you all for the information.
Theres a picture of the paint on the tire.
