    What size 17 in rim will work on 68 Dart Converitble?

    That looks real good. What wheels? You started out looking at Ramblers. This chrome wheels look good with that trim on a dark car.

    What size 17 in rim will work on 68 Dart Converitble?

    I get real close to rubbing the front fender when the suspension is compressed and turning. Make sure you check compressed clearances. That's where I think you may have problems. My car sits a little low in the front but I have stiffer torsion bars so I don't have as much bounce. Can't wait to...

    What size 17 in rim will work on 68 Dart Converitble?

    The rear wasn't the concern. My tires are almost same width and 2 1/2" taller. It's the fronts I think will be questionable. I would suggest ordering two in that size for the back. Try them on the front to check everything out before you order the other two.

    What size 17 in rim will work on 68 Dart Converitble?

    Sheesh. That's about an inch wider than what I'm running on mine and I know I'm close to rubbing. That tire is 1 1/2" shorter than mine but I still think that's gonna be close. Did you bend the wire to mimic the tire dimensions and check clearance at full steering travel?

    BBP 17x7 on front with 215/55-17 and 4 3/4" BS / the rears are 17x8 with 235/55-17 and 5" BS. Suspension stock but upgraded. Brakes Disc conversion on front and B Body brakes and axles from Dr Diff on back. I can tell you I have absolutely no room for anything bigger in the back. The front will...

    1969 dart wheel and tire size?

    My old setup on my '69 was 255/60-15 on back. Fit like a glove on my car. My buddy tried them on his '69 and they wouldn't fit. Not even close. I'm not sure how some guys are getting 275s on their car but it seems to work for them so...

    Rear wheel and tire combo ???

    I'm not sure of the wheel well differences between '69 and '70 so take your chances. 69_340_GTS- Not sure if you have a typo. Mine were 255/60-15. ChichliDart-I posted a link to my original setup. My fronts were 14". Rocky-The 255s had about 1/2-3/4" clearance with everything stock. I...

    Rear wheel and tire combo ???

    I had 15x7s with 4 1/4" BS and 255/60-15s on my '69 Dart. Looks like this was already answered on the M&H Racemaster thread. I'm just curious...a 7 1/4" rear with drag radials? And two different bolt pattern sized spare tires?

    17" Wheels on a 69 Dart with Stock Suspension

    I used a Percy's WheelRite tool to verify wheel/tire fitment before I ordered. It will simulate whatever size setup you are thinking about putting on your car. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/php-01201/overview/. FWIW, My car is sitting at stock height in the rear and a little lower in...

    17" Wheels on a 69 Dart with Stock Suspension

    I just went through this on my Dart, only I added more complications just for fun. My setup is 17x7 on front and 17x8 on back. My front tires are 215/55-17 and my rears are 235/55-17 Yokohamas. I agree with 69_340_GTS on the tire size. My tire sizes are a little bigger than the 225/50-17 he...

    How much fender and leaf clearance is needed?

    I run my car with about the same clearances, maybe closer to 5/8" to 3/4". It seems too close but I haven't had any problems.

    Post your wheel and tire combos.

    The "Before"- SBP 14x6 on front with 215/70-14 and 255/60-15 on 15x7on back. All stock brakes and suspension. Cragar SS all around. The "After"-BBP 17x7 on front with 215/55-17 and 4 3/4" BS / the rears are 17x8 with 235/55-17 and 5" BS. Suspension stock but upgraded. Brakes Disc conversion on...

    Pictures needed of 67-72 Dart with Cragar SS wheels

    Duster360, The front wheels and tires are 14x6 with 3 1/2" BS and a 215/70-14 tire. They were on the car when I bought it. Looks like the previous owner wanted equal sidewall height front and back.

    Pictures needed of 67-72 Dart with Cragar SS wheels

    My '69 has Cragar SS wheels. The rears are 255/60-15s on a 15x7 wheel with 4 1/4" BS. The fronts are 14x6". I believe they are 3 1/2" BS. I don't recall what the front tire size is but I can look tomorrow.

    Rear Tires 67/69 Dart

    My Dart has 255/60-15 on it with no problem. My advice is proceed with caution and take measurements or compare them to what's on your car. The wheels/tires fit my car with about 3/4" clearance between the fender lip and the springs. A friend tried mocking my wheels and tires up on his Dart and...

    crager s/s wheels

    Partsman, do you have the small bolt pattern brakes? I need to go to a BBP wheel setup because I put disc brakes on my car. I will be selling the wheels and tires off my '69 Dart. 215/70-14 on the front and 255/60-15 on the back. Everything is almost new. I'm near Irwin.

    tire wheel pics please !!!!

    255/60-15s on the back of my '69. Rims are 15x7 with 4 1/4" backspace. They will fit with about 1/2 - 3/4" clearance all around and they will rub just a little on the inner wheelhousing on my 'vert if I am making a turn uphill. It could be because of the springs on the car.
