I have some 14x7 cragars would like to run some 245 60 14 under the rear quarter panels on a 71 dart. Wondering if they would rub at all?
I have 245/60/14's on the stock 5.5 ralleys on the back of my 1972 dart with room for more..That size tire will fit, but it all depends on the backspacing

Mike, what springs are you running? I want my dart to sit about the same as yours but my springs are sagging.14x7's with a 4 1/2" backspace should be fine. I have 15x7 with a 4 1/4" backspace and 255-60's and no rub. My rear end sits up a bit and the springs are fairly stiff but you should be fine with a shorter/smaller tire.

I have a extra leaf added to the original springs. Something the previous owner did. I would Imagine a +1 inch over spring from Espo would do the the trick. When the car sets on the level it doesn't look like it has such a rake.Mike, what springs are you running? I want my dart to sit about the same as yours but my springs are sagging.

Thanks for the compliment. I can't say for sure but I'd say one in over Springs would do the trick. I do have 255 60x15's on the rear which jacks it up a bit too.View attachment 1715340254
man thats a pretty car!! I have sagging springs on mine currently and have it up with air shocks but i need to fix this issue as i need it to hookup and air shocks aint gonna help that!! I just looked at the ESPO site and see they have the new springs and you can add +1..So if i ordered the stock new springs and add the +1, should that get me to where yours is? Im asking because i have mine is set just about where yours is right now, but with air shocks..Also, does your car hook with those springs?
