Im running 8.5 slicks on 15x7 steelies on my 64 dart with stock everything .Its real cose to the springs and outer side of the inner fenders (maybe 1/2 clearence on each side),but it doesnt rub .No air shocks ,lip trimming ,etc...

What would be the minimum and maximum back spacing for the 15 X 7 wheels to fit a 66 with no mods?

What is the back space on your steelies?

My 15x7 rallys are 8 inches edge to edge with a 4 1/2 inch b.spacing.

They have 3 3/4 back spacing on them from the drum / mounting surface to the edge of rim.The guy that i got the wheels from told me they came from an early 80's Diplomat .I got lucky .Fortunatly he let me check to make sure they fit ,before i paid for them...

255/60/15's should work with at least a 4 1/4 bs. Just an fyi slicks measure a bit different. I have 26-9.5-15's on 15X7 steelies without a problem on my 64 Dart..

Thanks for the info guys, I'm looking at the Newstalgia Wheel V-40. These are a straight 5 spoke with a media blasted center and polished outer wheel. They would look great on a '66. The 15 X 7 is only listed with 3-7/8 bs and I wanted to be sure they would fit before I bought a set. Thanks for the pics.8) Not trying to hijack this thread, just sharing info.
