Hey everybody. I am getting my 68 dart mini tubbed over the winter and have picked up some 15x10 cragars and 295/55/15 mt et street tires for the back. I got 15x6 for the front but wondering about sizing. I was thinking 195/65-15. Any got any pics??? Or any other combos? Looking for visual references. Thanks!!

You can do the mini tub yourself. It is really not difficult, it's just takes time.
Nice pics! Thanks guys. To go that big are you guys using coil overs? I would do tub job my self but I just don't have the room in my garage. Car barley fits. And it's not sonething to do in the winter outside in Canada.

325/50-15 et streets on a 12" rim. 325's are 14" wide on the 12" wheel. If you want the car low i would suggest removing the outer house on the wheel tubs if you want a wide wheel that not inward of the quarter.

That looks awesome. How did you go about removing the outer wheelhouse part?

Just cut it out with an air saw, used some poster board to make a template and welded it to the tub. It's just seam sealed to the inside of the quarter, some guys epoxy or bond them but i don't like the idea of it pulling on the quarter if something his the tub hard enough.
Very cool. Thanks. What did you do along the wheel well lip? Did you leave a Part of the wheelhouse for strength?

this is a clean looking dart!
if anyone is interested I have the same wheels as these for sale. there 15x12 7.5" bs and 15x4 for the front 5x4' Bolt pattern
There also custom made from centerline in the SMALL bolt pattern, so no need to change bolt pattern to large if you don't want too. I only used them for a couple runs on the street when I was first getting the car together and decided I wanted to go with a black wheel instead pm me

28"x12"x15" rear M/T, sportsman S/R, on 15"x10" ralley wheels with 5-1/2" offset.
26"x6"x15" front M/T sportsman S/R, on 15"x6" ralley wheels.
rear end shortened 3" each side.
springs moved in under frame rails.
Mini tub.
This combo leaves lots of room inside for larger tires if wanted.
I have 1" clearance to the outer fender and 1-1/2" to frame rail and inside wheel tub.
Sorry can't find side shot picture.
