Correct Wheels and Tires for 65 Dart GT

Surprise! I think the Cragar SS wheels on the Dart Charger were only 13". Ulf meticulously restored his and knows for sure.

The "big" wheels in 65 were 14 x 5.5 as used on the Formula S, and possibly hi-po Darts, black with wheel covers. This compares to the 13 x 4.5 standard wheel with 6.50 x 13 tires. There was also a 14 x 4.5 that were originally on my 67 non Formula S Barracuda with the 273 Commando but probably not in 65.

Fast forward to this summer when I decided to drive my 64 Valiant 320 miles each way to Carlisle. I had put about 1000 miles on the car since getting it running last fall driving on late 70's vintage 185-80 x 13 radials. They were brand new never used old stock but almost 40 years old.
I had a set of 1971 14" x 5.5 Mopar Rallyes in my stash and decided to go with those because I too am upgrading to K-H front discs. I settled on 195-70 x 14 Kumho tires as they were a close match in diameter to the old 185's at 24.75". My GPS confirmed that the speedo reading is right on with no other changes. In other words, a true 60 MPH reads 60 on my speedo. Dead nuts.
I don't need monster tires with my slant.
