1970 Dart 255/70/15 tires

[Jeff Seighman]

Does anyone have 255/70/15 tires on the rear of a 1970 Dart, I have Dr. Diff offset spring hangers and 7 inch wheels with a 4 1/4 back space. If so, how well do they fit and photos if possible.
Thanks Jeff

Yikes, the 60's will be 27" dia. and the 70's are almost 29". You may have an issue at the front of the wheel opening. My 60's on 7" wide are quite close at the front and at the wheel lip, especially on one side. And I have the back lifted with an extra leaf.

Yeah I have 255/60's on it now but I thought I saw someone's Dart with the 70's on it and was thinking they may have spaced the front hanger back?

TM Mike covered it. I think they'll hit at the front of the wheel opening.
I have 255/70x15s on a 62 savoy...... but the rearend is moved back an inch.

If you are willing to move the rear back........?

 

[Jeff Seighman]

Yes, I'd move it back.
