Post your wheel and tire combos.
Car and Model 69 Dart GTS matching numbers 383 4 spd
Front
Wheel Brand and Size
Brand is unknown, maybe NZN?
Size is 17" X 8.5 with 100mm X 5 lug pattern
Backspacing is 6.5 inches
Tire size is 205/50 R17 Kumho Ectas
Suspension is stock 10" drums with 4" X 5 lug. Converted to RH thread
with 2" wide adapter/spacer between wheel and drum to get back to 4.5 inch backspacing.
Rear
Same wheels, drums, and adapter/spacers.
Tires are 235/45 R17 Kumho Ecsta
Suspension has Mopar SS springs, offset 1" hangers, and Monroe air shocks.
I have good clearance all the way around and no rubbing. The ride and handling is good. There is no problems with balance, the spacers were done by a company online for 200 bucks (the wheels were free..)
I wouldn't recommend burn-outs or high speed driving, but I don't do that.
I will go back to 14" rims if I can ever find reasonably priced original mag wheel covers like what came on the car from factory.
