Moving front spring eyes rearward
I ran a 8 3/4 in my 1965 Dart GT moved back in the axle spring purch's front holes on the spring's pin. This not only made the 215/75 14's look better but did nothing to the ET or feel of the car. It was a 85% street/15% strip Weekend toy and I drove it from Seattle to Georgia and back three times doing over 120 MPH at times.
I will add that on this 1965 Dart GT the 8 3/4 was very close to the fuel tanks sending unit when done. I had taken a deadblow hammer and massaged the tank in about 1/4 inch 'Just for Giggles'
On my sons 1968 Dart 270 build we relocated the springs into the frame and then tubbed the wheelwells. Then I cut the rear fender opening 2 inches and welded it back in. Running some 325/40 20's in the rear now.
