With all the metal work done on my Duster and a limited amount of body work to complete, its time to get serious about wheel and tires. I prefer to run a staggered wheel tire combination, but am open minded. I just have a real problem with running a really wide tire up front. Im probably going to run a Bullet wheel and really like the American Muscle matt black wheel as my car will be painted bright white with a matt black 340 stripe and the V24 blackout hood. So here is what Im thinking for a serious street handling 6.1 Hemi Duster:
1971 Duster, 6.1 Hemi
Front: 13 disc brakes on 73-76 spindles
Hellwig 1.25 55907 tubular sway bar with either 1.00 1.06 Torsion bars from Firm Feel
Bilstein shocks all around
Custom rear springs from Peter Bergman lowered 1 with Dr Diff offset A-Body spring hangers (42 on center)
68-70 B-Body 8 ¾ 60.5 wide with Dr Diff 11.7 discs
Combination #1 26 tall:
Front: 225/45-18 on a 8 wide 5.7 backspace / 30mm offset
Rear: 255/40-18 on a 10 wide 7.3 backspace / 45mm offset (Is this wheel to wide?)
Combination #2 25.7 tall:
Front: 245/40-18 on a 9 wide 6.2 backspace / 30mm offset
Rear: 275/35-18 on a 10 wide 7.3 backspace / 45mm offset (Is this wheel to wide?)
So tell me what you guys think!
