    Rallye wheel trim rings?

    Did Ma Mopar ever NOT put a trim ring on the Rallye wheel? A google search shows a '71 Demon Sizzler with Rallye wheels and no trim ring. Any other models come without trim rings on the Rallye?

    P245/60R15 tires. Which would you choose?

    Spring is in the air, and my new (to me) 15" X 7" Rallye wheels need some tires. I've decided to use 245/60R15 tires but haven't decided on a manufacturer. Locally, I have Belle Tire & Discount Tire where I can purchase the tires listed here. The car is an ice cream parlor cruiser, never at...

    7.10 X 15 Tire ?s

    What exactly does the 7.10 mean? My buddy has the above mentioned tires on the front of his '63 Dodge 440. As far as I can remember, the tire sizes were something like F70-14 or G78-15 (in the '70s).

    Need new rear tires...

    but I don't need new front tires. I bought a pair of 15" X 7" (Wheel Vintiques) Rallye wheels from FABO member 72Dart6pack. I have, and I'm keeping, black wall tires (on 14" X 5 1/2" Rallye wheels) up front. Should I have black wall tires on the rear too, or go with raised white letter tires...

    P235-70R15 tire suggestions

    I bought a pair of sbp Wheel Vintiques 15" X 7" Rallye wheels from FABO member 72Dart6pack. The wheels had old (2007) BFG Radial T/A P235-70R15 tires on them. I don't need a high performance tire (ice cream parlor cruiser), or a high mileage tire (I average about 3,000 miles a year) and I'm...

    Wheel lug/stud knurl size

    I broke 4 lugs/studs (2 on each side) off my factory a-body 8 3/4" rear-end (7/16"-20 thread size). And, with the help of YouTube.com, I was able to knock out the broken lugs/studs. I measured the knurl size on both broken lugs/studs at ~.463"-ish. The length of the remaining studs is...

    14" X 5 1/2" steelies hitting SSBC front disc calipers!

    I found, and purchased, a set of 14" X 5 1/2" (sbp) steel wheels for the Dart GT. Pulled passenger front side Rallye (also a factory 14" X 5 1/2" sbp) and bolted the steelie on (snugged up by hand). Tried to rotate the wheel and discovered it hits/rubs the caliper. It appears I'll need to...

    Red line dog dish hubcap diameter(s)

    Did the red line dog dish hubcaps come in different diameters? I picked up a set of 14" X 5 1/2" small bolt pattern steelies and want to start looking for a set of the caps. I believe I need 9" diameter caps.

    What Lug Nuts?

    I finally found a set of 14" X 5 1/2" steel wheels for my '71 Dart GT. My searches tell me I need 7/16 X 20 (RH) lug nuts. Will these from SummitRacing work? Thanks for any help/guidance!

    Backspace difference?

    Is there a backspace difference between the 14" X 5 1/2" steel wheel vs. the 14" X 4 1/2" steel wheel? It is my understanding the 14" X 5 1/2" steel wheel will have a 3 3/4" backspace. I borrowed an original 6.95-14 wheel/tire from a FABO member and made some measurements. My CRUDE...

    8 3/4 Brake drum face to leaf spring measurement needed.

    My '71 Dart GT has the factory installed 8 3/4" rear-end with stock location leaf springs. Does anyone have a measurement from the (10" X 1 3"4) brake drum's face to the outboard side of the leaf spring? I'm trying to see where different wheel backspaces will place a wheel in relation to the...

    Wheel Vintiques Steel Wheels ?s

    I want to put body colored steel wheels (with red-line dog dish caps) on my '71 Dart GT. It looks like I'm "forced" to go with 15" diameter. SummitRacing sells Wheel Vintiques 15" X 6" (3.75" back space) and 15" X 7" (4.25" back space). My car has the factory installed 5 on 4" small bolt...

    SSBC Front Disc Brakes (A153) & 14 X 5 1/2" Steel Wheels ?s

    I installed the SSBC A153 front disc brake kit on my '71 Dart GT several years ago. The car has been sporting the 14" X 5 1/2" Rallye wheels (small bolt pattern) since I've owned it. I've been considering swapping to 14" X 5 1/2" steel wheels (small bolt pattern) with the red line dog dish...

    SBP 14" Steel Wheels ?s

    I've been toying around with the idea of body colored steelies (with "dog dish" hubcaps) on my '71 Dart GT. With that sad, I've been doing some research on the SBP 14" factory steel wheels, but have found conflicting information. Were the 14" SBP steel wheels available in widths of 4 1/2"...

    Winter Storage. What to do with/for front tires?

    The summer cruising season is nearing the end so I'll be "parking" the Dart GT for the winter. I usually put the rear-end up on jack stands so I can run it through the gears weekly. The front tires are usually parked up on some 2X10s. Will leaving the front tires parked on the 2X10s cause...

    '71 Dart GT Lug Nuts, LH Threads?

    Does my '71 Dart GT have LH threads on the lug nuts? When was the last year for LH lug nut threads? I remember my '69 Satelite had LH lug nut threads, but do not remember when Ma Mopar went all RH. I believe they should be 7/16" X 20 X 3/4" for my 14" X 5 1/2" small bolt pattern Rallye...

    Spare Tire ?s

    After nearly 14 years I decided I should probably check to see if I have a spare tire in the GT. I removed everything from the trunk (10' X 10' canopy, bag chairs, tool box, fluids containers, jumper cables, scissor jacks, 2" X 4", etc...), pulled the trunk mat, removed the spare tire card and...

    Side by side comparison if you can

    Can anyone post pictures of a P195/75R14 and a P205/70R14 tires? Interested in this front/rear tire combination for my 14" X 5 1/2" Rallye wheels. Thoughts?

    Show me '70-'72 Dart Swingers with steelies and poverty caps

    Hey all! Saw a bunch of Mopars (all bodies and colors) at the Woodward Dream Cruise this past weekend sporting body colored steelies and poverty caps. I'm diggin' the look, and wondered what my car might look like. So post up!:thumbsup:

    What modern tire size to replace E70-14s?

    I have 14" X 5 1/2" Rallye wheels that originally had E70-14 tires on them. What modern day tire size replaces the E70-14?

    14" X 5 1/2" Factory Rallye Wheel Backspacing

    Can someone confirm the backspacing of a 14" X 5 1/2" small bolt pattern (5 on 4") factory Rallye Wheel? I thought I read somewhere that they have 3 1/2" backspacing. :burnout:

    Best Tire Size?

    What is the best tire size for 14" X 5 1/2" Rallye wheel? This is for the front of my '71 Dart GT. Currently 215/70R14s. I get a little tire rub with tight turns. I added the SSBC front disc brakes and i think that increased the track width a bit. I assumed there would've been a chart...
