Wheel recommendations 69 dart

[SteveC124]

What wheels and tires do you guys have on your darts? Steelies, cragars, rallys, etc? My car has ESPO 6 leaf +1 inch lift springs, slant 6 torsion bars and 73 style disc brakes up front. (Picture prior to the new brakes, car is sitting on a friends rally wheels) Currently has 7 1/4 but will be putting the early b body 8 3/4 with my fingers crossed lol. Include both front and rear, pictures if you can. Thanks in advance, Steven.

Not asking what would fit, just what wheels and what size they are so I can get an idea what they’d look like.

Wasn’t sure if I liked the look of a 15 upfront. Thanks for the opinion

there is only one wheel that looks classy on that car, and that is a slotted mag

Good question. I have only seen my 70 Dart with Rallies so I am a little biased. Depending on the color, Cragar SS's look good and correct on these cars. Your car looks like it is red so they would look killer! Put your 8 3/4 in before ordering rears. There may be a difference in backspace compared to the 7 1/4 you have in there now. There shouldn't be but it is better to be safe than sorry.

I recommend round ones. Yeah. Round. And metal. Yeah. Metal.
