Ready to get the Duster on the road. What is the biggest tire and wheel that will fit without mods? it has a 4.30 gear with a mini spool and a stout 340.
it does have an A body housing with resplined truck axles and BB pattern. I have 2 nice Police Car wheels that I would like to use.What do you suggest?
With the police wheels you can probably fit up to a 255/60/15.
The truck axles and whatever brake parts you use will determine your back spacing requirements since the drum face will likely be farther out towards the wheel lip than the OE small bolt pattern/2" drum shoe measurement. Mock it up with the drum in place, put a wheel on and hang a plumb bob at a few points to see what kind of room you have.
Fitting a larger wheel/tire combo can be tough without doing any modifications since the limiting factor is usually the location of the leaf springs. Move the springs in and you can fit a 275/60 15 tire with ease. Some guys lift the rear with air springs to gain more clearance but then you have a goofy stance and tires that stick out.
