Anyone mind showing and sharing their Duster/DartSport/Demon pictures and specifics?

Prefer non-modified rear set ups as I'm keeping that stock.

I have a 73 Duster I'd like to stuff some Wide Cragar SS under it.

Backspace and wheel width are the main things I'm looking for.

I typed it all up and the thread was gone now it is back
Rear 275/60/15 BFG Drags on 15x8 rallies from wheel vintiqes 4.5 back space leaves 5/8" from the springs and would hit quaters if someone rod in the back seat or going over bad bumps fast
Front is 215/60/15 on 15x7 rallies{same company} back space same as above
The rear might be a little diferant since it is a 8 3/4 with moser axels for big bolt pattern with 11x2.5 drums from a C Body and green bearings. they said they make them for the brakes used so the ofset is right.

Hey Kevin thanks for the reply and info, gives me a good idea of what I want. I got a little used to the Challenger after having the Dart Sport years ago and the wheel wells on the duster style is much bigger so I don't want to undersize the width or have to much Backspace...Yours looks pretty good.

I was looking at a 15x10 Cragar with 4.25 BS and a 15x8 Cragar with 2.5 Backspace...I need the car here to measure and it's driving me nuts

Centerlines, 15 x 8.5 with... I'm pretty sure, 3.5 inches of back spacing. BF Goodrich drag radials, 27560R15. Plenty of clearance at the springs and I HAD plenty of clearance at the quarters until I flipped the front spring mounts to lower the car (SS springs). Now it's REALLY tight. Had my buddy trim and smooth the inside wheel well lip on the driver's side nd it was still scraping on big pumps in the road. I put a pinion snubber in to limit travel (had to cut it down and weld it together). Looks really cool in my opinion, but the ride is pretty harsh.
