1970 Dodge Dart Ttire Issue

I just installed 15 x 7 with 4 3/16 BS with 245/60/15 on the rear of a 70 dart completely stock. Have about 3/4 inch to spring and 1/4 to wheel lip. If I would roll the lip, could have went with 255/60/15. Also depends on rear ride height , if you use air shocks or anything that raises the height it helps to get a wider tire under there. Hope this helps.


I just attempted to install this same rim and tire on my 69 with the same 4 3/16" BS but it wouldn't fit. Are the 70s wheel wells any different than the 69s? Something doesn't make sense on my car :angry7: I am beginning to wonder if I have a B-body 8 3/4.
