What is the largest wheel's I can put on a 1974 dodge dart 360 sport
If I could,I would run 255s on the front, but with a 4bbl 360,never on the back.
On the back 255s used to spin me out every time I put just a tiny bit too much throttle in a corner; not good in traffic. It was like driving on gravel. And when I wipe out, my go-to reaction is a 4-wheel lock. And 255s have very little braking in the sideways direction. Extremely little. IMO,they don't make a 4bbl carb small enough to safely run a 325hp (at that time) engine, on 255s. Probably not 275hp either.
Now;with 295s,and 4oo plus hp, I can run my 750DP at any throttle opening I choose, and the car goes where I point it, tires screaming, in second gear. Occasionally full-lock steering is not enough. At these times I put a lil toe on the clutch and the car snaps back into line, the 295s once again at roadspeed, and biting, no braking required. Lest you think second gear is nothing, my combo is capable of hitting over 80mph in second. Sadly, sideways, I am not,lol.
But I just gotta say, 255s do a really good job of keeping the rearend up off the pavement.So with a stock 360, I guess they'd be Ok.
But that was not OPs question. Op asked
Hey guy's I have a 1974 dodge dart sport 360 I am wondering what the biggest tire and wheel for height and width without having to modify anything. I have air shocks in the rear and, on gas adjust up front thanks
And since in 1977/78, I had a Fire-Engine-Red,1974 360 Dart Sport 4-gear, with airshocks, and N50-15s on it; I know for sure they fit on there. Wonder no more.
