I think this hits the nail on the head for a lot of the arguments I've heard. I have something like 1.25" spacers on my front wheels to make up the offset difference in my wheels (needed big offset for B body axle but wheels didn't have shallower version for fronts), but I'm using the bolt on...

I'm running a set of 40mm offset wheels on my car with some mods and they work fine. I've got an E body rear in it, so the high offset works out well in the back. The rear is just a touch too wide though, the pre 70 B body rear would pretty much put the wheels dead center in the wells which is...

Didn't know it was quite that smokey until I saw the picture, lol. 67 Dart with a 5.7 hemi swap.

I've had a set of bolt on spacers (same idea as adapters, just the same bolt pattern) for the past 6 months or so I think and they seem to have held up well. I've double checked them for tightness and few times and they never seem to have moved any. I got my set off of Ebay for around $60. I...

I don't know what availability of colors are out there for it, but I just used some plain Duplicolor engine enamel on my drums and they seem to be holding up real good so far. I figured the engine enamel would hold up to heat well, and it's easy as a rattle can, lol. I just used plain black...

Yeah, I think that's about as tight as you can fit on the older cars. I've got a 67 Dart and made up a little template from some poster board and cut out a 28" circle and it was really close to the front fenders. Ten inches is probably about right on the section width. I've got some 225 tires...

Ebay might be a decent place to look too if you haven't. I picked up a set of bolt on spacers there (not adapters, but same idea) and they seem like they were quality pieces. They've been on for several months now and haven't given me any trouble. I've checked the torque a few times and...

Ebay might be a decent place to look too. Some of it might depend on how thick you need, but from the sound of that backspacing sounds like you might need a fair deal. I got a set of 1.5" thick ones off of Ebay (4.5 bolt pattern) for a really good price that have held up well, but I'm not sure...

Can't say for sure on a Swinger, but I have a 67 Dart with 225/60/15 or something like that and they just fit. They're on a 7 inch rim though, so not 100% sure how it would translate. They get reeeaaallll close to the corner of the fender at the bottom, but one side has never touched at the...

Here's my new set of shoes. Fronts: American Racing Santa Cruz rims, 15x7, 5x4.5 bolt pattern, 5.56" backspacing Tires - 205/60/15 BF Goodrich Radial T/A's Mods - 1.5" wheel spacers to take up the offset Rears: Same rims Tires - 225/60/15 BF Goodrich Radial T/A's Mods - E body 8.75...

That's what I ended up going with for now, we'll see how it works. I found a good deal on a pair, so at least I can get the car rolling on the new tires and drive it around town for a while to see how it reacts. I can't really see any good way around it other than different rims, but I really...

Well, I swapped an E body axle into the rear and needed the extra backspacing to keep the rims inside the wells. I really didn't want to mess with cutting it up and modifying it to A body specs, so I just moved the perches in. Rim choice is pretty crappy when you need that big of backspacing...

So I just bought a new set of rims for my car and have run into a bit of an issue. The rims are only sold in one size and backspacing, which works fine for the back, but I will need a spacer in the front to make them fit. However, it's a pretty big spacer that I need, 1.75 inches. I've seen...

So I'm finally to the point where I need to be thinking about ordering some new wheels and tires for my car and I planned to run a set of M/T or Goodyear street slicks, but I was wondering what people were running for front tires. The car will see mostly street with maybe a few weekends of...

I think if you read any DOT drag radial they say race use only in the fine print. I've even seen tires with what I would consider normal tread be called "race only" because of compound I guess. How long have the Goodyears been out? I was looking for the good old two slots down the middle tire...

As the title suggests, has anyone ever run these tires http://www.jegs.com/p/GoodYear/Goodyear-Eagle-SS-DOT-Drag-Radial/1261458/10002/-1? I was looking at drag radials and size-wise I'm pretty much limited to the MTs or Goodyears. I know most people are happy with the MTs, but I don't think...

*drool* Those are sweet Tony, how much was it to get them done? I wonder if 15" rims will fits in my mom's oven... lol. She's pretty much given up at my dad and I not using her stuff.

Yeah, I just had the enamel left over from various projects over the years, looks a lot better than the dirty rusty look it had, lol =P.

I just used duplicolor engine enamel on mine. Then again they're just stock rallyes and I didn't care too much how it turned out. One wheel came out really nice, but the others had some adhesion issues, think there was still some tire black or something on the rims. First one was nice, second...

What width rims are you all running with MT drag radial 255s? I was thinking about 15x8 rims for my 67 Dart that I'm getting a B body 8.75 and doing a spring offset kit for. Surely someone has done the exact same thing I'm thinking about. I'm trying to pick out rims I like, but without...

I know this thread is pretty old, but could you post some pictures of your setup if you still have it Redhot? I have a 67 Dart that I'm getting a B body rear for and was looking at 15x8 rims and trying to figure out backspacing. I plan to an offset hanger kit and moved perches with 255 tires...

i figured they must have been cheap for a reason. i'd really like to see what a set of these http://www.enkei.com/wdm.html look like on my car, but I think they're a little over my price tag for a set of 4, lol. I like the black center look with a chrome lip or rings, especially since I have a...

That's more or less what I have now, just the stock rallyes painted black with trim rings and chrome lug nuts, but the prices on these sort of caught my eye. Didn't know if there was something I needed to know about them that made them cheaper. Was looking at the aftermarket "stock" ones, but...

So what are the pros and cons of modular style wheels? I've been looking for a new set of rims for my 67 Dart and came across these on Summit http://www.summitracing.com/parts/USW-94-5812/?rtype=10. They look nice and they are very nicely priced ($70 a rim for the size I want). They are...

So what is the biggest tire anyone has fit with just a spring relocation kit? I made a little mock up piece today with a piece of fiberboard to see tire sizes and it looks like a 275 would fit if I rolled the fender lips and moved the springs without tubbing. The mock up was a 28" circle and...
