As described, 67 dart with mini tub and spring relocate.

How big a tire are you running?

Looking to run a 325 50 15 my et street radial on a 10" wheel.

Thanks

Frame rail to Quarter you'll have roughly 14-14.5" to work with. 325's will fit.

I use to fit a true 10/28 and still had a little over an inch on each side for clearance, on my 69 Valiant

Don't know about these darts but on my Duster I did a minitub w/ springs relocated under the chassis and I can get away with 335/35/17's on 11x17" rims. Looks badass for a panther pink streetcar w/ lowering blocks.

I just put these 315/60/15's HOOSIER DOT Drag Radials on My 67 Valiant and I could easily go another inch wider. 10" rim, 11.1 tread, 29.7 tall. My wheel openings are stretched to accept the taller tire.

Are you willing to trim or stretch the wheel opening? If so a 315x60x15 or a 295x65x15 on a ten inch wheel will fit My duster has had the wheel openings stretched five inches, three on the front side and two on the rear, I moved the rear end forward one inch My intent was to be able to run that size and not get anyones attention(on the street) of having a big tire

I did the same thing to my 67 Dart, and plan on using a 325/50R15 tire on a 10 inch wheel.

The tubs and springs have been moved, but when I measured for the wheels, I needed to run 7 1/2" of backspace. This was not the look I was going for. Besides, the rear disc set up that I have recommends no more than 3 1/2" of backspace.

This means I will be having my rear end narrowed by 4" on each side to obtain the proper backspacing.

Early A body.
mini tubbed and leafs moved in 3 " a side.
Housing shortened 2 1/2 " a side and moved back 1 ".
I am hoping a 325 - 50 / 15 will fit , but it is gonna be tight.
15 X 10 with 6.5 " back space and it may need a 1/4 to 3/8 " spacer.
