Thanks so much for the response! I definitely appreciate your knowledge. My car isn’t lowered but I don’t want tons of wheel gap either. I’m hoping it clears the fender. I can always trim a little if I have to but I hate to go that route. I have absolutely changed my mind from a 225 up front to...

Very good point as well!!

Thanks for the info! I think a 235 might be about right. I really just don't think I want to go with a 225

If I'm not mistaken BBP backing plates will widen the track some. I'm running an 8" wheel now with -6mm offset. (15x8 cragar). According to the calculator I'm using I'll have .75" less on the inside and .25" less on the outside. That doesn't take into account the BBP brakes. My last duster I was...

Thanks for the input! I'm right there with you on the 245/45. I think that's really the best route to go. I'm thinking of running Nitto G2's. They make both sizes, and they seem pretty cheap.

Thanks for the response! @72bluNblu seems to be the community guru, but I hated to bother him on a topic that's been addressed so many time.

I've read 17"/18" wheel and tire threads on here until I went crosseyed. I have a 72 duster, it has all stock suspension, KH front disc, 8.75 A body rear. I'm in the process of switching it over to BBP, and I want to go with a 17" wheel. For the front end, I'll be picking up a set of 74 duster...

Thanks for all of the help guys, I got the wheels back from powder coating, ending up going with 235/60's on the rear, they fit perfect, I probably could have squeezed a 245/60 back there, but it would have been tight.

I couldn't believe it either! I actually had the wheels and tires sold, and when I pulled them off I took a picture and sent it to me friend that was purchasing them. I don't think I'd be comfortable with anyone running these wheels. I haven't pulled off the other three to see if they look just...

I bought this car not too long ago, and I noticed I would have a vibration above 2800 RPM's or above 60 MPH. I was pulling the wheel off the other day to measure for clearance for my other wheels, and I may have found part of my problem. Apparently someone decided to turn small bolt pattern...

I was wondering that myself. I bet it is a B body rear end

That's a good idea! I will check the other side tomorrow. You're absolutely right though, I've never owned an old car that has been the same on both sides. I agree a 4.5" backspacing would be better, but I already had these wheels and I'd like to save a little money if I could and not buy new...

That's a nice looking car! Definitely the stance I'm looking for. The fender lips have been trimmed up, I hope it's enough. I was going to take these wheels to be powder coated tomorrow. I just don't want to waste my money if they won't fit. Thanks for the advice!

Thanks for the insight, you're probably right, it may be less that 1.5". I was hoping to run a 235/60. Ideally I would like the tire to be around 9-9.5" wide and 26.5-27" tall.

I'm planning on taking my slots off and putting on a set of steelies with poverty caps. The wheels are from a fury that I sold a while back. They are 15x8 with 4.25" backspacing. It looks like it's going to be a tight fit but I wondered if anyone else has made it work, and if so what tire size...

LOL ... that would be one long drive!!!

You're welcome man, the good thing is, no one else is going to have them! I went to discount tire to order mine, but summit racing carries them as well.

Thanks Champyfz450, the fronts are 5.1 backspacing and +10mm offset and the rears are 5.3 backspacing and 0 offset ... if I remember correctly.

Thanks Brandon I appreciate the compliments, I'm not really sure if they're considered "other brand" wheels or not, I just happened to be googling wheels for my car one night and these popped up, so I did a little research and called the guys down at discount tire and they carried the brand. I'm...

After having one hell of a time deciding what size and style of rim I wanted to go with and having ordering issues, the wheels and tires I ordered finally came in. I know my new set will not thrill some of you, but that's ok ... different strokes for different folks ... right? I decided to go...

I love your wheels, What offset did you go with?

:oops:LOL ... after I compare the factory size tire to what I was looking at, I'd say you're right ... holy moley is the right response. I'd say a 45 series would be about right.

I've been doing some research and comparing tire sizes here lately so that I can get my wheels and tires ordered before too long. I've been thinking about going with 225/60-18 on the front and 255/60-18 for the rear, the tires are 28.63" and 29.04" tall. Do you guys think the tires are too...

Thanks for all the replies. I've been reading through all the threads trying to do as much research as possible. I really don't want to do any modifications to the car, or swap out the UCA's, If an 18" rim clears the front better, maybe that would be my best option for the car. I've been...

I agree with you, my old duster had SBP, most places I shopped around didn't even carry wheels for the car, so the selection process was much easier when I only had about 4 options. The duster I have now will most likely be my daily driver in nice weather, so I want a good quality tire that...

Man, that looks really good! Thanks for the reply! The wide tires tucked in the back look great. I feel like I definitely have a lot more research to do before I make a decision. Again, I appreciate everyone's help.

Thanks for the info! I'm definitely leaning toward 15's or 16's. I really like the wheels and tires on the brown duster. What brand of tires do you guys prefer? I like cooper Cobras, but they only go up to 15"

Thanks for the replies guys, I'll definitely take some measurements. By meaty tire I just mean I don't want the car to look like it's rolling on rubber bands. The suspension is completely factory, it's the larger 5x4.5 bolt pattern, front disc brakes. I've narrowed it down to these similar set...

Good evening folks, I'm needing some assistance with wheel size, tire size, and backspacing. I've got a 74 duster that is currently sitting on 14" rims, the car definitely needs some meat under her. On my last duster I put 15" Cragar SS wheels, and it looked really good. I think on this one...

Agreed!
