Good to know. If anything, I could show Summit or whoever the price and ask them to price match. I like blacks, but I'm just wondering how an all black wheel would look on my car. My guess is that the Dr Diff hubs are the correct size for Mopars, 2.81". A guy on FABO measured it for me. The Dr Diff bbp axles measure 2.795" (~71mm). The stock bbp axles measure 2.825" (~72mm). So, I should be good with Enkei's if I choose to go with them.

Not sure how you squeezed 275's in the back of a stock 72 Swinger. I could just get 245's in, rolled fender lip, stock spring location. Had maybe 3/4" clearance ins'de and out.
That would just barely rub the leafs on hard turns.
Dr Diff says 1/2" more, which is maybe 13 mm. I guess if I was running 35 profiles instead of 60's and left 1/4" inside and out for clearance it could be done. Is you fender lip rolled or cut?
They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.

I had 275s on n the back of my 69 Valiant with the offset Shackel kit ... so they should fit a 72 Dart as well. JRC are you driving this beast around our fine Winnipeg streets yet?

Sounds pretty tight, but the low profiles help. I was running a 3/4" rear sway bar as well, but the taller sidewalls let the tire flex enough to rub.
This wasn't a dedicated track car and I really do not like the feeling of a low profile tire on the street.

That sounds comforting to know. It might be awhile before I can buy new wheels and tires. I just bought a new car. What did ya get????

I can imagine Samy in a pink Fiat 500... A 2018 Subaru WRX to replace my Scion.
