72 Dart Swinger 3.6L Pentastar +T5
New wheels aren't high on the list of priorities but they're fun motivator to get the real work done.
The 15 x 8 steel wheels on the car now have a 4.3" back space with 225/60-15 T/A tires.
I want to have the exact same tire & wheel size on all 4 corners. So I used this cool wheel offset calculator to easily show the difference that a change in tire & wheel would make from the current setup.
Wheel Offset Calculator
I'm looking to go with 265/35-18 on these AMR 18x10 wheels
Offset : 24mm
Backspace: 6.4"
I just really liked how they looked on @71duster06 's car
Even with a Dr.Diff offset spring hangers, the rears may need a small spacer. I'm currently measuring ~2.0" from the leaf spring to the steel wheels but these 10" rims need an additional ~2.0".
For tires, these Kuhmo V720 look to have a good balance between performance and cost.
When GrassRoots tested them compared to the BFG Rival S,( which is nearly 2x the price), they held their own.
