Thought I'd share my fitment after spending alot of time looking at what other guys are doing...realized in the end I could have gone wider in both the front and back. I'm no wealth of knowledge but I hope it helps.
1972 Duster
18x9 American Muscle FR500 +30
265/35 front and 275/40 rear
8 3/4 rear end...not sure what it came off of..Mopar comp leaf springs. I added .75" spacers to the front and rear...I'll probably go 1.25" spacer in the rear to get it more flush + I dont like how the track width kinda looks wider in the front. The front is pretty much sitting on the bump stops and the rear is sitting on 3" lowering blocks. It DID effect pinion angle substantially, I took a shot in the dark and cut 8 degrees diagonally off the lowering blocks..I think it still needs another 2 degrees to achieve the proper angle. I'll try to post more photos, just snapped a few before calling it a night. No rubbing when turning hard but it will rub if turning through a dip ..any further out/lower in the rear and I would have to cut away some of the lip..the u bolts and spring mounts are like 5" or less from the ground so any lower would probably cause other issues. It's a pretty piece of junk...if you could only see how horrible this paint job is.
