Hey everyone. Anyone have any ideas for rims for my duster? Id like to put the widest wheels on it possible. Id love to know what rim/tire combos you guys would suggest.
What are you running for wheels?

That blue looks great with Cragar SS's and Mopar Rally's as well. Not a Duster but here's my Swinger. !4x6 on the front and 15x7
(4" backspace) on the rear with 255/60-15's

My only worry with that is having to carry two different spares then. Ideally both front and rear would be 15" rims, but the width would be staggered and I would use skyjackers or replace springs for rake. Those wheels look absolutely amazing on your dart though

From the avatar pic would guess this is 72-down with 5x4 bolt pattern or is is swapped over?
18x9.5 +12
@72bluNblu has written about this so many times he should just write a book.

Are you looking to stay 5x4 and with a small diameter wheel? i.e. 14" and 15"

Yes, for the time being we will be keeping the 5x4 pattern and staying with smaller diameter wheels. Preferably 15" rims. I might eventually change it to the bigger bolt pattern if I put a 340 or 360 in it but that wont be any time soon
If you're keeping the 5x4 SBP and 15" wheels then in the front you're biggest wheels will probably be 225/60/15's on 15x7's. Some have managed 235/60/15's but I don't recommend it.
In the back you'll want 15x8's, and you can manage up to a 275/60/15 with the proper backspacing. What that backspacing actually needs to be will depend on what axle you have back there.

Thank you! How can I check to see what kind of axle I have? is that going to be a number on one of them?

Im hoping to not have to tub the rear end yet. I might if I get the 340 or a big block and the 8 3/4 rear end but not yet.
Replaced the original 14 inch steel wheels and chrome trim rings with new 15X7 147 Daytona Vision 4.25BSM Wheels and 235/60/15 Cobra Radial G/T Tires

Those look really cool. Ill have to look into those rims. Im on a bit of a limited budget though so if they are expensive top of the line stuff I probably wont have them for a while.
That should get that slant six to hook.....
Metal ones. Yeah metal. The plastic ones don't last real long.

Are those the stock rims? It looks cool with the coloring but I want to get wider rims, and 15 inch instead of 14"
Pro Stars 15 x 12 with 29.5 x 10.5 x 15 rear & 15 x 4 with Moroso DS 2's on the front on my bracket Demon. Car is tubbed in the rear with coil overs & ladder bars.

Im looking for the widest rear tires I can get without tubbing the read end or cutting anything. If that limits me to 8" wide in the back and 6.5 in the front then Im perfectly happy with that.
Get a square & hold it against the flat portion of the brake drum, measure from the back edge of the square to the front face of the rear tub, subtract at least an inch, that is your back spacing. Measure from the back of the square to the finder lip & subtract an inch. Add the two measurements together & that will tell you the width of the wheel & the back spacing you will need.
