This is my sons 72 Dart. Its a street car that he drives so we needed a tire that would not rub alot. Everything is in the stock location. These are Hoosier QTP tires that are 26 x 9.5. He has them on a 7" rim and they fit good. Only once in a while on hard turns like a long beltway ramp they might touch the spring a tad. But they have been on the car for years. We tried a 28 x 9 slick but they rubbed the front of the wheelwell a good bit in the traps so you would have to trim the front of the 1/4 or move the rear back a tad. The 26" tires work ok with his 3.91 gears and it hooks good. Its a mid 11 street pump gas car. All it has is SS springs. I would say a 27 x 9.5 or maybe 10 is about the biggest you can fit without problems. A race only car that does not make turns might get away with a tad bigger in the stock wheelwell with the springs in stock location like my sons. Ron

This is with the 28 x 9 slicks that rubbed the front of the 1/4 to much in the traps. His eng is a .030 over 400 and it likes the 26" tall tires with the 3.91's as he shifts it about 6500. The 28's actually slowed the car a bout a 1/2 tenth. Ron
