Will 275/60/14 rear fit on my 72' Dart?

[SwedenMopar]

A couple of days ago i purchased some wheels for the rear in my dart. I got them really cheap so i never really thought if they would fit, i just bought them :-D So now i wonder if anyone knows if they will fit without any major modifications? The rims are 14"/8" centerline with 4" backspacing, and the tires on them are 275/60. Perhaps someone else is running the same combo who could tell?

Those will not fit in the wheel wells, they will stick out pretty far.

Dartboy I am not sure where you are getting your info from but I have Super Stock leaf springs and 275/60/15's under my demon and there is plenty of room. I have 15-8's with a 4.5 inch backspacing. I would not forsee any problem at all fitting a 14-8 with the 275/60's It will be a little shorter with the inch less of rim size and you will have more room if you are not running super stock springs.

The guy said he has a dart not as much room in wheel well as duster or demon,Kevin.

Like Kevin and Dartboy said, they won't fit a Dart. Not to mention a 275 60 14 would be a bias ply tire and will have a wider tread than a radial, the largest 14" tire you can get in a radial is a 245 60 unless you go with Hoosier or one of the race tire companies. 245's are a tight fit on a Dart without the correct back spacing.
