That car just needs new stock rear springs. Leave the front as is and it will look, ride and handle as it should.

21570R14 on all 4 corners...but you didn't want to hear that.

Nope..no first hand knowledge. My guy has hundreds of used and new tires and new old stock. Didn't push me in any direction just gave me info and options. But like in my previous post, my newer snow tires are not worn at all and have become hard and noisy in 5 short years.

72blu is correct. Just picked up a couple of like new used Michelins for my daughters Toyota and was told anything after 2020 they call "rubber butter" It's getting worse, now they are softer and age faster so watch it and watch out!

yup...kinda' like breaking a leaf spring. A lifelong trucker told me you are more likely to break it with no load on a rough road as it bends quickly back and forth too far. The snow tires on my truck have almost no wear or cracks but they are 5 years old and now they have become noisy as the...

Wow..what a coincidence Rusty! There's the proof fellas!

I have talked to guys who had big blow outs with great looking older tires but have never seen it. A worry for sure if your tires are old.

Stock was a bit small, so go at least a bit bigger for better ride and handling. Looks are a personal thing and the wheel tire section has most every possibility but too far out of wack can ruin braking and handling. I would go 21570R14 all the way around but i like them to look 'kinda stock.

How wide were the ralley wheels and did you have the mexican hat centres? I tried with acorn centres and the wheel disc hit them.

Looks Good but i am old school and prefer them to look the way they were when new. You're right about the age thing. They say if you are 50 or younger and "don't" have headers you're embarrassed to open your hood. ..and if you are over 60 and "have" headers you are embarrassed to open your hood...

Car sits the way it should and looks good!

yes...what vehicle, engine, cam and gear? That's a lot of tire.

the centres on 14 or 15" are the same.Usually they just take the centre out of the narrow rim and weld it into a wider 14" or 15" rim with the backspace you request.That works on plain steel wheels too and lets you keep small bolt pattern.

in '68 i was 16 and spent every weekend at our local strip.The new 340 cars were quite often the cars to beat and got a lot of respect! Was 1971 when i got my first muscle car...1971 340 'Cuda. I could never beat the lighter darts or dusters on the street! I never raced at the strip back then.

I think you are correct. I don't remember seeing red lines on a '68 dart back in '68?

Were red line caps available in 1968? I remember when a friend bought his '68 Super Bee brand new and i think it had red lines on it but don't ever remember seeing them on a '68 Dart? I could be wrong ....that's a long time ago.

Ultra violet from the sun deteriorates rubber as well as oxygen..everything oxidizes

i have heard after about 7 years tires can grenade but have never ever seen it happen to anyone, i do think the ride can deteriorate some as the rubber can harden and crack with age if left in the elements or sun.

Have any of you guys tried a more expensive Michelin or other tire on your classic? I know on my daily drivers they make a world of difference. I wonder if they would help the 50 year old suspension technology of our Classics?

if it were me...i'd put the original wheels on. Originals always look best to me.

a lot of the station wagons and full size sedans had 15 inch steelies. And many wagons came with sure grip rear axles too.

who have weighed stock 14 x 5 1/2 and 14 x 6?

what are your engine specs and rear gear ratio?

Front 21570R14 on 5 1/2" sbp steel rims Rear 21570R14 0n 6" sbp steel rims ....i have an antennae now.

215R7014 front and rear front wheels are 14 x 5 1\2 small bolt Rear wheels are 14 x 6 small bolt I call her "Plain Jane"

if you follow the 1969 service manual you can't put a 245 on the back on any rim. Yes they fit,i too have run them.Should you ..maybe not. You are all correct..Now everybody hug and move to the next post!

tx TA...anybody have an example of 1967 dog dish caps?

are 1967 and 1968 plain dog dish caps the same? The red line style started in 1969? any pics?

perfect!

lowering the rear could get you where you want to be.
