MJ's 71 Beaver (Dart)
We finally had some free time to assemble the rear and slide it under the car with new SS springs and all new associated hardware and brackets. The rear disk conversion was short the t bolts for the housing end that come with the doctor diff kit. He was great and got a set out ASAP but for now we were just able to temporarily secure the backing plates and rotors to get dimensions for wheel selection. Once we roll the fender lip in I'm hoping that will buy us an extra 0.5" on the curbside. If that is the case I'm thinking a 255 wide tire with a 10.1" section width on an 8" wide wheel should fit, but as always, we're very open to criticism or ideas. As of now it looks like we need an 8" wide wheel with either 5" backspacing or +12mm offset. The idea for now is to go a black steel wheel to keep it cheap. Any recommendations on a good vendor, or anecdotes on what tires will actually fit, or anything you guys can think of will be much appreciated. Thanks
