Allen Here's a novel idea, let's not throw a bunch of parts at the car hoping it will fix the problem and instead spend a little time diagnosing it first. Life was a little easier when I was just a wrench.

Not quite as wide, but I think the height of the sidewall looks much better. 68 Road Runner, 69 Belvedere, 71 Challenger Vert 340 barracuda, 01 Ram CTD, 95 Ram, 04 Ram, 85 Daytona turbo Z 66 GTO, 06 Magnum RT AWD. 07 Ram CTD, 07 Ram

You can see the difference in widths pretty well. Scott 1969 Super Bee, 383/4 speed

Back in "the day" I used that size tire on my Z28 camaro and utilized the factory 7" mag wheel.. Wore out the center of the tire pretty fast it ( the wheel) not being wide enough to handle the 295 tire... Just my 2 cents..

The sidewall is bowed out a little but looks good. I moved the springs inward about an inch to clear 6074312-68%20DART%20RACE%20CAR%20103[2].jpg (308 downloads) Founder and CEO of the Central Valley Mopar Drag Pack
