I have a 71 duster with 318 engine auto trans that has14" Rally sport wheels. Standard suspension. What's the biggest tire size I can fit on the rear?
Your problem is getting a tire. From what I remember last, the biggest I have seen is a 245/60/14. But poke around the net! You never know what you’ll find. Good luck.
Oh! Welcome aboard!
Looks like a perfect fit. I was just looking at the very same tires to go on the same wheels.I just bought these on Saturday for the front 215/70/14 Large bolt pattern.

I don't think those would fit in the wheel wells. I'm wondering if 225 70s will fit without rubbing.
Thanx. This forum should be a big help.
325/50-15s will fit in the tubs, with a little massaging and no air-shocks, lol. But you will need to move the springs and get some custom bs wheels. And you will have to slow down for the turns. If you narrow the rear to the limit of the new spring location, then you can run off-the-shelf 4.5bs wheels.What's the biggest tire size I can fit on the rear?

295/50-15s on 10s are an easier fit,and you can powerslide to your hearts content.
275/50-15s on 8.5s are a bolt-on deal with a 4.5bs
He didn't ask what's the biggest tire I can put on a 14.What's the biggest tire size I can fit on the rear?
You have 245/60 r14s on a stock 14x5.5 ralley?Hey guys. My Dad’s got a 72 duster 340. We are getting ready to buy some new rubber as well. It currently has 245\60-14 all the way around. All though these are wide enough I’d like to go bigger (taller) in the rear and a little more narrow and shorter in the front. Everything is stock, including the 14” rally wheels. I’m not sure of the back spacing on these stock rally’s...and any more information that you may need to know...please ask. Thanks for the help! Pic to follow
That's what I did. Bought a pair of 15x7 Wheel Vintiques Rallys and some 255-60/15's for the rear.Your best bet is to grow to 15'' wheels then you will have much more choice and use 6-7 inch wheels in front and 8'' in rear. I have 205/70/15 front and have 225/70/15 rear on 8'' rims but ran 255/60 before, all depends how tall a tire you want and don't forget...it will change your speedometer too.
