They are summit wheels.I dont care if i have to move the rear springs in some,i just dont want to have to mini tub the car right now.Do i need the 4.50 backspace wheels,or 5.5 backspace wheel?Its a 71 dart,with a body 8.75,and resplined big bolt axles and 10 inch drums. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SUM-521-5865PS/ http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SUM-521-5866PS/ oh,and i want to run the 4 inchers on the front.Is anybody else running these wheels on there darts?What size did ya get,and what size tires are ya running?
 
I would say 4.5 inches would be the max without moving your leafs in some. Even then I'd suppose the rubber would sit pretty close to your leafs. Bearing in mind the max you can move your spings in without going inboard of the frame rails is 3/4" (I have an 1/2 inch kit from Dr Diff, but Mopar relocation kits allow 3/4 in with some clearancing the frame rail for the spring eye bolt), with 5.5 backspace rims you'd be 1/4 inch closer to the relocated springs than you would with stock spring location and 4.5 backspace. Perhaps too close for comfort?
