My "new" '74 Duster- or why I need a project like a hole in the head
And the moment of truth! Back on the ground, ready to go. Plenty of room to the quarter lip (1-1/8"), and with 7/8" back to the springs on the inside now I could probably manage 315's tucked in there next time around.
The new 295/40/18's are 27.2" tall, so, a full 1" taller than my old 295/35's. So I added about a 1/2" of rubber rake. I'm going to put some more miles on it first, but I've got a set of 1/2" blocks assuming everything goes like I think it will. It wasn't flat with the old tires and the new ones put more rake on it than I want so I'll probably drop it back down to where it was before and tuck the tops of those rear tires in now that I have plenty of space.
