I have a '71 Dart 340 Swinger 4-speed with stock suspension. Will I be able to run small bolt pattern 15 x 6 rims with 3 1/2" backspace and 245/60/15 tires without any serious clearance issues?
71 Dart -- Will they fit?

15x8 rallys, 4 1/2 backspace 235/60, I had to roll the fender lips on the rear. I kept the lil skinnies on the front

Thanks for the reply -- seems the consensus is that these won't work for my application15x8 rallys, 4 1/2 backspace 235/60, I had to roll the fender lips on the rear. I kept the lil skinnies on the front

245s on my wheels would be a tight fit. My '72 has a 7 1/4 in it. Leaves about 3/4-1" on the spring side 1/2ish on the fender side. 245s on a 6" rim might make them a little narrower in the section and a wee bit taller. In theory you should have less wheel on the fender side than I do by an inch. That could only help matters. I never tried the fatter tires on the front, might be a fun experiment the next time I'm messin with it.
