I finally have the dart sport ready to go with the new 28/10 X 15 goodyear slicks in back on 15 X 9 centerlines and 155/80 R 15 front runners on 15 X 4 cragar (weld draglite look-a-likes) in front.
I had made some postings about installing the rear last winter in the members restorations forum. Basically installed a B-body rear from a 1965 satellite in the car with a MP spring relocation kit (moved springs inboard .8" on each side) with off set shackles. etc.
Here are some pictures showing how it fits. It appears I could actually fit a 10.5 or even 11 inch wide (thread width) tire in the back without much problem if I got wheels with another inch of back spacing. These wheel have 5" back spacing, so if i got 15 X 10 with 6 (or even 6.5) inch backspacing, wider tires would be no problem!
