If I were to sell my new 4" wheels with the M/T sportsmans I could buy 6" Qualifier wheels and run the 205/70/15 tires which are 26.28" tall, but it would suck if I ended up not liking the looks of the bigger wheel. It would have the same offset on the outside of the wheel though.

Ron, how wide is your front rim? Mine is only 4". Those tires do look good. You know they are a factory ralley wheel but they have been on the car so long I dont remember the size. But I think they were a 5" wide ralley wheel ? Ron

I think for this car I'm gonna stick with the 4" rim and buy the M&H 26" radials. I'm gonna buy tires friday so I'll probably change my mind 10 times! Our local roads suck, a wider tire and rim would drive better but I just love the looks of the skinnier tires on this car.

I dont blame you Bob as your car is more of the Pro Street look then my sons as his Darts body is all stock and its not tubbed or anything. I think yours will look best the way you are doing it. Course it looks great to me right now.  Ron Thanks Ron, my car isn't tubbed or caged or anything, the leaf springs are even in the stock location. Dusters are nice cuz you can run a 275/60 on the back with no modifications. But I love the drag car look, since that's what I've been around my whole life.

Oh I for some reason thought it was tubbed.  But you are right as its nice how the Duster/Demon and the Dart Sport and 67 to 69 Cuda's fit the bigger tire then the standard Dart wheelwell will fit.

I haven't seen any 165's that will go 26" unless you know of a brand. They're advertised as 25 ".

The alignment you did is still working perfect!

Yes that's one of the 3 I mentioned. It's 25.5" tall, I'm trying to find out if the M&H is a true 26" or not.
