I did the same a few timeswith my '67 Newport many years ago. After the tires got some heat into them, the contact patch got better...

Nice!

235/60/15" is way more common, but might still be tight. 70-series tires are luxury car tires. Big and bulky. Looks 'crap' to me on small cars. 225/60 will probably fit better.

It's all over the forums on which older cars (50s/60s) are the focus. Try the Forwardlook forum, or the JalopyJournal HAMB, but I'm sure there are many others.

You can see the tires on this page on my site; Different wheels for the ’57 Windsor I just looked back and I noticed I bought the tires back in 2006 already... If you were to see them today they still look as good as new.

Try DiamondBack Tires. It's been a known fact for years that Coker tires can have issues, mostly their bias ply tires not being round. I've had Diamond Back vulcanize a dual white pin-stripe on a set of new tires years ago. Perfectly circular around around the tires and still look good after a...

I carry a Centerline frontrunner wheel with an old VW tire on it. Nice and light.

Hate it when new tires often turn out to be bald...

I had a set of thin double striped whitewalls made some years ago by Diamond Back Tires. Still very happy with them and I've ran them on several cars already. Different wheels for the ’57 Windsor

The cheap(er) passenger tires (Cooper / General / BFGoodrich) which are all to popular on older cars are limited by design to have much higher operating pressures then 35 psi. Better tires can usually be filled with higher pressure. You don't by any chance think wheel alignments are still to...

Polyurethane strutrod bushings will keep everything in place much better under strong forces than stock mushy bushings will.

1968 DODGE DART STREET-REGISTERED RACER

Don't forget convertor slip adding 200-300 rpm. An overdrive brings a car into the current century. Being able to pur right along with traffic at around 2000-2400rpm is way more fun than turning a useless 3200+ rpm and still being overtaken by every old fart and his dog in their fkn Priuisiii.

With a quick glance it now just looks if you have black steelies with a dogdish hubcap. That, as such looks good, but I think I would want to just get another set of wheels with black steelies and dogdishes then, and not waste time with plastdip.

Just checked again today, my tires are 225/50. My car is as low as can without it hitting stuff like the majority of speedbumps. Has 1" torsionbars and Hotchkis adj. shocks to prevent bottoming out during 'spirited driving' ... ;)

I've got 7J 17" wheels all around on my Dart. 215/50 or 225/45 is about the widest I can run front&rear. It all also depends on your ride-height. If you like the 'no engine under the hood' 4x4-look then wider tires will probably still fit upfront. If you want to have your car look good ;) then...

The fenderlip is not the issue. It's the narrowing ridge on the inner wheelwell that causes rubbing usually. At least if you have your car at the normal or lower than stock ride height. Since you'll be running a 45-series tire I will presume you like handling and your car's stance will be...

Change the rear axle. Get the correct offset wheels. Save the car and prevent driving around like a hack.

On older cars, 'backspacing' is the term that's used. On modern cars/wheels, peeple tend to the use the 'offset' term, which is measured differently. On factory Mopar-wheels, the backspacing is usually about half (+a little extra) of the total wheel width. So a 6" wide wheel will usually have a...

Too bad... You should've raked the lawn before the pics... ;)

Installing longer studs would be a 10 minute job, especially if the axle is for temp use only. Knock back the orig. studs with a hammer, either or not with a piece of wood in between to save them for later use and pull in the new studs with some spare wheelnuts. You could also try loosening the...

MTMopars, yes the car is lowered a fair amount in the front. Have about 5/8" frame-to-LCA play. In the trunk are 2 propane tanks which lowered the car by itself but I've also got 6 leafs per side and a set of Monroe Sensatrack loadadjuster shocks to help keep things up. I will be installing an...

I've acquired a set of 7J 17" Thrashstar Showwheels last week and trial fitted one on the front of my Dart. They have 4.25" offset, which (unfortunatly) is only 3mm more than the current wheels on the car, and on which the tire rubs the fender during steering and just a slight suspension...

'80s 7J Dodge wheels with 215/60 Goodyears on the front and 225/60/15 Bridgestone's on the rear.

I'm looking for a cheap set of alum. wheels for my '73 Dart and I've found a set of 16" splitspoke Mustang wheels for sale locally. I've found they have a 5.27" backspacing and are 7" wide. Anyone know how these wheels would fit in relation to the balljoint? Spacers needed to get the tire away...

325/50/15... Mickey Thompson I-profile tires. (btw, do some Google-searching before you decide to possibly blow money on Coker Tires.)
