71' dart 28" x 9" Slicks

Hey:

I have a 71 Dart. I've got 15*8 with 5.5 BS Weld Pro Stars. I don't have offset shackles or a spring relocate. I think maybe I could just barely squeeze that tire in there.

I do have the B-body brakes and monoleafs if that makes any difference. I do not have tailpipes. I have rolled the fender lips on my car.

I have run a Hoosier quicktime pro 27*10.50-15 tire (which was very tight), but I actually had to use a 3/8" spacer on the wheels to get that to work. The sidewalls on the quicktimes have more of a bulge than the straight slicks appear too, so the QTPs might size a little bigger than they actually are.

If you do order a set of those, make sure you check the rollout and get an approximation of the width *before* you have them mounted. I actually ordered a set of those tires, but they were like an inch and a half taller than they were supposed to be and appeared to be wider too. Mickey Thompson did take care of it, but in the interim I had settled on the Hoosiers because of the delay and ended up sending the correctly sized 28*9s back without trying them.

Can you use the offset shackles without a spring relocate?

Good luck.

Steve
