63 Dodge Dart, now let me see;)
Here is another approach you may have not of thought about with the Torq Thrust II available wheels.
We ordered the exact same wheel tire package that my '69 Satellite had for my Cousin's '67 Coronet R/T. Unknowingly the R/T had tighter clearance on the rear quarters.
The new wheels came in and we mounted up the tires. Come to find out the new generation of Torq Thrust II wheels had 3/4" more outward facing offset, they would not fit the '67 R/T.
I had the earlier generation Torq Thrust II wheels on the '69 Satellite with less offset so we traded wheels and tires.
The wheels off the Satellite fit the R/T just fine. The brand new wheels with the additional 3/4" offset fit my Satellite just fine, giving the car a cooler look with the overall 1 1/2" wider stance. And still did not have any clearance issues.
Moral of the story, there are different offsets of the factory cast Torq Thrust II wheels in your size that are out there, you just have to dig to find them.
Pull a wheel off and measure your backspace, like 3".
Then run some ads looking for 3 3/4" backspace Torq Thrust II wheels. This should pull the wheels in giving you the clearance you need without the chop, chop, chop.
