Will these wheels work on my '66 Dart, max tire size?

[NorthernSwede]

I have found a wheel with the following data

15x8"
4,625 backspacing
+3mm Offset

Will these fit back on my '66 Dart 4-door, 8,75 rear and stock springs and wheelhouses? What size tires to use if they do fit? How big diameter to aim for to keep em from rubbing and how wide? I'd like as wide as possible without rubbing and just wondering if anyone knows or can hint me in the right direction?

Is there really no-one who can answer? How wide a tire can you run on a '66 and what offset is needed for it to be possible?

I dont know for sure, but Im thinking no...

The numbers I have for stock rear spring mounts are a max of 4¼" (~108mm) wheel backspacing and a max tire diameter of 26.5" (~ 673mm). The older A-body wheel had a bolt circle pattern of 4" (~101.6 mm). This is old info and may not be consistent with current experience.


One of the things to watch out for is when fitting wider wheel tire packages on the older A-body, it is important to lift the car by the body when changing a tire. If an axle jack is used on the rear axle, often the tire will not fit through the wheel well opening.
