Just bought a Ex drag car. Been on the track since 1973. It's not cut up at all. No cage or tubs. It was green and called the Mystic Mopar on the doors.
It is an original D Code with a console 4 speed and was raced at US 30 dragway back in the day, running class I imagine. All the interior is pretty much stripped, so piecing that back together. It had some skinny 5 or 6" slots with 28" tall ET slicks that fit under it with the air shocks up.
I have 7 or 8" cragers with a small 215/70/14 tire now that is on it.
What is the widest 15" wheel that I could run to get close to that 28" tall tire, and what is the offset I would need?
15/7 with a 4.5. backspace is what I am thinking...
Are these rare? Are they more rare than the 66 Formula S?
Where these the ones rated at 275 H.P?
Thanks for any info.
First pre 68 A-body for me.
