Wheel/tire size

[66GTDART]

Is anyone running 15” mopar rally wheels on a 66 Dart with 73-76 Duster disc brakes.
If so, what is the best tire size so they don’t rub when turning.
Thanks in advance!

We have swapped many early A's to 15's and the disc swap. Usually for the fronts a 205 in 75 or 70 series fit no problem.
Photo of my 'ol 63 with 205 60 front and 235 rear. The only rubbing was on the rear with 4 people in the car. Mainly because of the chrome reverse wheels.
All were 15x7

205's are a pretty safe bet. from there, 215 is really dependent on wheel offset, aspect ratio and ride height.

you have a little more leeway out back.

Thanks for the input.

These were on 15x4 195x15 front and 205x75 15 with a 6'' rear wheel. Same disc set up.
Second photo is a 15x7 rear wheel if I remember they were 235x60x15 drag radials.
Fun car, should have kept it. Like many.....

bridgestone potenza RE-71

205/50-15 and they are the widest 205 you'll ever see short of a falken azenis. however they are very short. small price to pay for the stickyness.
