    Panasports, anyone??

    We have a set of Western wheels like that. Really cool wheels, I think they would go good on the E body we have.

    What size front tire will fit?

    FWIW there are 2 different front fender openings I have noticed on A bodies of varying years. One comes almost straight down in the front While the other is on an angle towards the front giving more clearance. There is an Inch more clearance at the bottom with the wider front fender opening...

    Tire sidewall clearance

    I have a police wheels with 275/60/15s on the back of my car. about a half inch from the leaf spring. stock everything. I never had them rub the springs and i don't drive around like your grandma does! So a half inch should be good.

    235/60/15 on duster front?

    Depends. I have noticed there is two different shape wheel openings on Abody fenders. one has an inch more clearance at the bottom of the fender in the front. I have yet to figure out which cars came with which fender opening. But if you have the big opening it will fit. small opening might rub...

    73 swinger pro touring

    If it helps any, I have 245/60/15s up front on police wheels. They work well and don't rub. I also run adjustable strut rods with heim joints which keeps the wheel centered in the wheel opening a bit better than the stock rubber. They fit well on the 7" rim but if you went up to 16s or 17s you...

    What custom backspace would you order?

    FWIW, I am pretty sure my police wheels have a 4 1/4" backspace. they are 7"wide. based off that I am thinking 4 3/4 backspace. Even if your rear isn't in you could probably measure from the leaf spring perch to the mounting flange and get an idea of what room you have there. Honestly I...

    Painting Steel Wheels

    Pop the bead on the face side leave the back side on, tape up and spray! piece of cake! you wont lose your balance and you just have to blow the bead back on. If you do take the rubber off bring it to a tire place to put it on and you should be okay.

    Can you ID these wheels?

    might have came on some other trucks I don't remember.

    Putting on 14" Beauty Rings O M G!! GRRR

    Get it started a little and lean into that spot with your knee, then work around with your hands. You want to use the palm of your hand and sort of whack it around. you'll never get it on without leaning into it with your knee.

    Dark or light spoke wheels (CHANGE OF HEART)

    I guess you painted the bumper to try it out? I think it looks great! with the matching wheels it will be a knock out combo!

    Max tire size on a stock rallye wheel / setup ideas

    IMHO your not really going to notice that the rear are wider than the front if you only go wider one size. The stock rally wheels stink, you cant put much tire on them. But, i think your sizes listed would work pretty good on there. I think the 70 series will fill up the wheel well best height wise.

    best for cruising?

    go with 15's you will have better chances of finding a tire if you lose one in the middle of nowhere.

    I need pictures of Darts with 15 x 7 wheels on back!!!!!!

    I'm running 15x7 cop wheels with 275/60/15 tires out back. Stock suspension, rolled the fender lip slightly. 8 3/4 rear if that makes a difference. about 4 1/4 backspace on the cop rims. Same rim and tire combo in my signature as well.

    275/60/15's on 15x7 cop wheels on a 71 Dart?

    The cop car wheels are 7" wide with about a 4 1/4" backspacing. Here is how close they are to the spring, I think my pointer finger was in between the spring and tire touching on both the spring and tire. So there is about 1/2- 3/4 of an inch space.

    275/60/15's on 15x7 cop wheels on a 71 Dart?

    I run 275/60/15s, It's tight. Stock suspension setup. You might have to roll the lip of the fender or beat them out slightly I only rolled the fender lip. I run 245/60/15 on the front, which is also very tight. Both might require some minor body modifications as the bodys of the cars can vary...

    what do you have for a spare tire?

    Seriously? a flat bed to the tire shop? you guys must be MADE OF MONEY! I've got some old crappy 205/70/14 for a spare. would be nice to get something that was not as old and crappy but it does hold air and have tread and to boot its round! either way i would much rather change a tire on...

    73 dodge dart swinger wheel and tire size?

    I am running 275/60/15 tires on the back of my 73 dart. The odd thing is, when i tried to run them with the 7 1/4 they hit the springs so bad you couldn't bolt them on even. when i went to an A body 8 3/4 they fit fine. same exact tire and rim i had tried previously with the 7 1/4. maybe i had...

    245/60/15 tyres on 69 Dart

    should fit great in the back as long as you get/have the rite backspacing. you could possible go bigger as well.

    Street tires

    My vote is anything but the radial T/A's. I had a set and they were pretty crappy for brand new tires and they dry rotted quickly. I got a set of the pepboys futura gls super sport tires for christmas and put them on the front of my car. Those actually are decent tires for the price. good...

    Wheel Stud replacement

    the ridges are just to help it bite a bit and keep it from turning. As long as it fits i really don't think you will have a big issue. Just keep in mind your not supposed to tighten your lug nuts as much as your impact gun possibly can either. not saying your one of those guys but some people are.

    how much tire?

    I've got 275/60/15's out back on my 73 dart stock spring location. Its a tight fit so it might work on some cars and not on others unless you do some minor fender work, the police rims have the perfect offset too. A 255/60/15 should fit without any chance of needing to mess with the fenders you...

    Duster tire suggestions?

    My rims and center dog dish hubcaps are police edition on 80s mopars from what I understand. i think most center dog dish mopar hubcaps go for around 50-60 bucks in driver condition. Johnny dart looks like he has period correct stock steel wheels and red line dog dish caps. those could be had...

    Duster tire suggestions?

    the 225/60/14s look pretty good and fit good. a bit wide for the factory with rally rims they fit but the inside wears a bit more than the outside. Also that specific size also seems to be harder to find and a tad more expensive than some other sizes close to it from what I have seen. see...

    Suggestions on wheel/tire combo for 71 Demon?

    Maybe just get some painted steelies for now. if the budget is tight. They are only rims so pretty easy to upgrade later. Oh and the cragar soft 8's are a pretty good deal new if you guys are into those. I think for four rims 15x7 its like $220 with shipping from summit.
