I found a set of CHROME TORQ THRUST WHEELS wheels that I would like to put on my pretty much stock ‘67 Dart. The only change from the stock suspension setup is that I have put ‘73 disc brakes on the front. The wheels are 15x7 for the front and 15x10 with 3” back spacing for the rear. Does anyone know if they will fit? If the wheels do fit, does anyone know how wide of a tire I can put on the back that will fit inside the wheel well with no modifications? Thanks for any and all input.

I think your going to run into a issue with the rear wheels. I am running a 245/60/15 in the rear on 15X7's w/5" of backspacing on my 69 and there isn't much room left. You maybe able to squeeze a 15X8 by tweaking the backspacing etc but it'll be tight. Anything bigger is going to require a spring relocation and or mini tub

10's will never fit w/out moving the leafs inward.

I have 245/60/15's on 15 x 7" w/4.5" b/s and there is a little more than a finger to the spring n wheel lip. Stock spring location but w/11 x 2" brakes w/axles to account for the wider brakes. Bumped the axle flange out 3/4".

I was afraid of this. Any thoughts on using a spacer? Guessing if I did use a spacer I would be pushing the rim out so far that the tire would hit on the fender. Oh well........ thanks for reply
