From what I here 28"s are the limit.

Here is a good wright up on how to widen the wheel wells.

Or you could move the axle back. That will give you a little more room for a taller tire but will all so make your weight distribution worse.

open the front of the wheel opening all the way to the outer wheel house front...

thanks burnt thats what i need to do. i wonder what size tire that was on that dart. i was thinking of going to at least a 30in tire.

A 30' will fit but if you go much taller more cutting and stretching of the fender will be needed.

Move the rear back
