thanks and i hope i make it to.lol what all have you done to get them to fit your dart? my dart is a 73, I have been a best of 10.49 in the 1/4 but with only a 1.48 60 foot. that was with the M/T 275/60/15 ET street radial tire.I have to get a new set of tires for my dart before April the 5th and was thinking about switching to a M/T slick.

the car has been mini tubbed and the rear has been narrowed. I can't remember, but I think it was narrowed 2 inches per side. I have wheels with 4.5 inches of backspace. I had to trim the inner lips on the inside of the wheel wells in the quarter panel. not take them all the way down, just trim them. on the inside I have about 2 inches to the spring, so there is plenty of room to go wider with the right back spacing.. I also had to have the bottom of the wheel wells cut and moved forward toward the rocker panels to keep the slicks from touching them. my body guy moved them 3/4 of an inch forward and the tire just barely touches the paint during the burnout. it doesn't even leave a mark on the slick or rubber on the body. just kisses it. however, if doing it again I would make sure it was moved about 1 1/4' at least.
