Life is an experiment
Those look horrible on your car, take them off and send them to me freight prepaid.
Just kidding.... They look GREAT on your car.

Yes, 4.25" ....
for now they are the original leaf springs with air shocks ... will be putting 002/003 superstocks with mopar performance extended shocks hopefully next week !
Thanks dude, im really happy with the look .. debating on a 15" wheel for the front also just to match. The 14" looked small in the rear, but kinda look good up front !

Toyo's ?? seriously ?? !! ... maybe if i had a low profile, 20" rim and even then would be michelin hands down .... BF was the only tire i had wanted !
Thank you ! .. yes on the rear end, the car still has the factory drivetrain in it. original motor, trans and 8 3/4 rear !! .. except the 3.23 gear was replaced with 3.55's ..:burnout:

What is the rpm difference between the 3.23 and 3.55 at 60 mph? I have been wanting to do and have the pumpkin to swap in and am still debating about it.

It is what it is...
They look good . I'm putting the bfgs on my ride with the 15 x 7 cop wheels 225-60-15 up front, 255-60-15 in the rear.

honestly not 100% on the rpm difference .. maybe 200rpm ? .. i think im somewhere around 3K at 60 ... i will have to pay more attention on my next drive ! i do know it is very calm at 60 vs my '65 coronet w/ 440-727 4.10's !
Thank you .. glad i could help !
That would look good with some dog dish caps !

I've got some 15x7 cop wheels that I've got on my 71 Dart.. do you know what the backspacing is on those wheels? I'm trying to find pics of other Darts with these wheels so I can see various tire size combos, and what fits well...

I'm so in love with your Dart. My Dart was once Sublime Green and one of the previous owners painted it mineral grey. It looks alright, plus it matches my Magnum but man I love that old green. I've been trying to decide if I want to have it painted Sublime Green with a black vinyl top or go with Plum Crazy Purple with a white vinyl top.
