    Performance tire categories?

    Haven't decided on rim size, not the hugest fan of 17-19 in. rims some do look really good but I do realize 15 in. are outdated when comes to modern tires, not looking for crazy widths 215-225 up front in a 25-25.5 in. dia. and 225-255 in. the rear probably with inch or two bigger dia. same if a...

    Should I change gears or not?

    The 295 and 225 are basically the same and the 275 are taller 26.6"/26.4"/28" there effect on rear gear .90/.91/.86 x 3.23 = 2.91/2.94/2.78 looks close enough to me. But here's with 3.55, .90/.91/.86 x 3.55 = 3.20/3.23/3.05. So your overall ratio is 2.94 now with the 3.230and 225 the 275 and...

    What tire size will work with a 15x8 front wheel?

    What tire size will work with a 15x8 front wheel?

    I got 1.09 bars But seems to me yours is pretty close to the fender and 8" rims would move it out 3/4 of an inch further that way since its only got a 1/4 inch more back space.

    Valiant & Dusters have the same wheel well size ??

    I don't want to mini tub so looks like I need an offset kit.

    Valiant & Dusters have the same wheel well size ??

    Seems your right, All A Bodies seem to take the same inside tub but dart and valiants take a different outside. Even though duster and valiant look similar if you look at two pics side by side you can tell there different, duster opening goes higher.

    Valiant & Dusters have the same wheel well size ??

    Thanks I want to put a little more out back especially once I get my gears. Right now it's got 245 60r 15. If you look at the lower half of your hind quarter it's the same as Duster.

    Valiant & Dusters have the same wheel well size ??

    I've never notice until I got my 68 Valiant that a Duster is just a fast back Valiant like they did with the 64 Cuda. I aways thought Duster was a new design. Since the lower hind quarter is the same at least it looks it to me. Then it would have the same rear tire size capability ? And what...

    16" Wheels

    When people are talking about tire availability. Its in performance tires cause you can get competition tires in any size rim But lot of performance tires don't come in anything under 18" and if the do the 18" 19" can go from 205 to 355 and every step in between. Where as 16" and under will have...

    16" Wheels

    I think its too bad there's not a lot of 16" choices they look right at home on muscle cars nice balance side wall to rim.

    vntned did you ever try the rears on the front to see if they would fit, l would like to run your rear size all around.

    So you think you can stance?

    A question about tire rod end and rim clearance, how much is there? I will be running similar front parts on my 65 Cuda, I hear there's not much room with 2" drop spindles and 17" rims. I was hoping to squeeze at least 225 tires.

    2" drop spindle

    So I'm limited to 5" of back space that shouldn't be a problem since I'm going with flares so I still can go with 10" tires, Thanks for the info.

    2" drop spindle

    Thanks reddartowner, I'm gonna take the spindle with the rotor, caliper, tire rod and take it to a rim shop see what fits. Didn't want to go bigger than 17"s but didn't want too much scrub radius either.
