what do i need 2 do 2 get a 29 in. tire under my car?can i do it with the right wheel offset or do i need 2 relocate my springs. can i still run a stock fuel tank if i do? any pics or advice would be appreciated. iam a pretty good welder so iam not scared i just want 2 know what it takes!thanks guys! 9 in. width

first you will need to stretch the opening in front

Width is where you run into problems, how wide is the tire?

9 inch width if its possible!

What their saying is you will need to trim the
leading edge of your rear wheel wells a max of
2" (NHRA legal)and that will taper up into the
wheel opening.

You will probably also need to trim the wheel
lip or at least roll it in, sometimes this can
be done with a baseball bat rolled along the
tire to roll the lip in. Or have a body man
do it.

Of the "A" bodies the dart has the least
amount of clearance for bigger tires.

why not just mini-tub it so you can get a decent size tire under it?

i am pretty cheep and i just dont have time 2 do the mini tubs right now. i made a mistake also when i posted. i wanna get a 28x9 under this pile of crap. so what backspacing wheel do u suggest? thanks

i fit a 29 11 under my 68 barracuda no problems at all

youll need a 7"rim with 4.5BS guaranteed on a dart.on mine i can get goodyear 29x9s with the spring relo kit only.

We had a 28 x 9 MT slick under my sons Dart and it would rub in the front going thru the traps. Thats where you run into trouble if you run any taller then a 27" tire on a Dart. You can see by this pic that you have plenty of room in the rear of the tire so if you moved the rear back and inch the 28's would fit fine. We decided to run 26 x 9.5 Hoosier QTP tires (9" tread) because they fit with room to spare and work good with his 3.91's. But he could actually use more gear at the track as he was shifting his 400 at 6700. But its a street car and he dont want no more then the 3.91's because he drives it on the street. Ron

i ran a ET street 28x11.5 on mine for a while with no cutting of the front corner, no spring-relo. it was close though....

15 x 8 welds w/ 4.5 bs.

if you moved the springs in and ran more backspace, you wouldnt have to worry about that quarter lip


theres a long thread on this on bigblockdart thats stickied at the top.

thanks everyone 4 the info

I run both a 275/60 and a 28 X 9 slick on my 69 Dart. The wheels are 15 X 8 with a 5.5" bs with the springs moved in 3/4" and the rear end moved back 1/2". I also had to trim the wheel well lips on both sides. The M/T ET Street Radials only have about 1/4" clearence on both sides and some times rub the springs.

If you modify the wheel opening, the fender is supposed to have the edge folded (rolled) or a 1/4 inch rod welded to the edge to eliminate any sharp surfaces that could cut the tire.

I run a 28x9 M/T et drag on a Centerline 8 1/2" wheel. The car is a stock body 1970 Dart. I have the 3/4" relo kit and the rear is spaced back 3/8" with aluminum blocks. Works great!

I'm getting ready to move my rearend back 3/8 also and use aluminum spacer plates.where did you find the correct spring hanger studs that are 3/8 longer than stock?

I used an E-body front spring mount on mine, it moved the wheel back enough to center the wheel in the wheel well . Mine is also mini tubbed but I have a 29 1/2 tall tire on there
