Re: Dave's 72 Dart
I recon i can just about squeeze a 275/60/15 in the gap if i role the lip. To do this i need a wheel with 4.5" backspace. Current wheels are 4".68Roadrunner wrote: ↑Sat May 19, 18 11:22 pm Yep looks good dave, so what size wheels and tyres will actually fit now.

Could easily get a 255 in now.
Need to find new wheels with the correct backspace before i can prove it though.

Re: Dave's 72 Dart
Managed to get some big ole 275/60/15s for the rear and some new wheel vintiques 63 series 15 x 8s with 4.5" BS. Tyres are a little too offroad for my tastes but they will do for now.
By my calcs it should just fit.......close but no cigar. Drivers side was just touching of the rear quarter lip.
Spring proximity was good at around 1/2".
So no option butbto have the rear arches rolled.
Jim Smith very kindly got me in ASAP and workes them a little.......fits like a glove.
Really happy with the look, front wheels look a litttle lost by comparison, but im out of funds so they are staying for now.
So with SS springs, the offset hangers and perches and rolling the lips on the arches it is possible to get 275s on a Dart......
