The car is equal amounts of bondo, rust, spray paint, primer and original QQ1 "Bright Blue". Driver door still full of old beer cans from the 70's and lots of tape holding what is left of the seats together.

The tires are M&H DOT bias plys with tread. I'm afraid to put a "real" tire under it with the 8.75. I almost have enough parts to build a dana for it and when that happens I'll upgrade to a 15" wheel/tire combo and move the springs in 1/2" using offset hangers.

Does anybody know how big of a tire you can get away with on a '68 Dart with the offset hangers?

If it wasn't a street car I'd have to find some Supertricks for it too.


I have done 3 darts with this setup, and agree with topfueldart also, a 28x9 or a 275 radial. We buy the wheels and tires and make the rear fit perfectly for them. Pic is a 275 radial, 8in wheels on all I do.
