I think I am going to go with a different look on my 70 Dart this year instead of the Cragar wheels I have on it now. Been thinking of going with 15" rally wheels. I was wondering if anyone can tell me if I were to put 15x7 rallys on the front, how tall/wide of a tire could I use that would not cause any rubbing issues? I have 205-70's on the Cragars but they are only 6 inches wide and I don't think a 205-70 on a 7 inch wide rim would look good. Also, if anyone has any pics of a 70-72 Dart with 15x7 rallys on the front I would appreciate it if you could post them. Thanks.
 
I plan on putting 205/60r15 tires on 15x7 wheels. I have both , but have not had them mounted yet.
 
The big issue is when you turn the wheel (to the left on the drivers side, or to the right on the pass. side will the tire clear the corner of the fender (bottom front of the wheel opening) when the front edge of the inside of the tread goes by even when the car leans or bounces. I've seen some pretty inventive ways to make clearance, but if you go too far it will look really weird.
 
69GT Do you have any pictures of your 70 Dart with the Cragars on it you could post? It looks like a sharp car!
Thanks
