I have an 18x9 with a 265/35/18 mounted I could loan you, but the rest are either on the cars (69 Cuda and 67 Valiant) or needed for racing. It would be easier if you could drive the Dart down once you get it back together and we could take stuff on and off as needed... By the way, the 18x9 with a 265 or 275/35/18 can work in front, with some fender massaging....



I'm starting to believe Tom has some truth to fitting a 275 under an A-body. I visited my friend today and borrowed his Mustang wheels with 275/40/17's on them (he's got a late 90's or early 00's GT). He also gave me a 245/45/17 in case I wanted to swap them. The 275/40/17 is a Hancook Ventus and the 245/45/17 is a Nitto NT555. The jack stands are mounted underneath the rear end of the car with an 1/8 tank of gas (so the suspension is loaded). So, I tried the wheels on the driver's back of the Dart, no spacers or washers, it seems like the tires will fit with little modifications just with less offset. The wheel is flush on the rotor surface. and I can spin it freely without any rub.
