8.75 narrowing in a 72 dart

That's probably a pretty good width. Not sure what the disks will do but id guess push the wheels out. If it measures out around 5.5" backspace you should be able to find wheels at a decent price and size for what ever style you want but it will take some measuring. Do you have the axles?
My measurements make me think i can use a 295/65/15. I have them already but I think the 295/55/15 would fit better.
I have the axles that came out of the rear end but they are not usable be cause of condition. I'm going to get after market axles more than likely Moser. The axles i have came with the rear end that was already narrowed
