Swinger front end on duster

They're 18x9's +35 with 275/35/18's on the front and 18x10's +38 with 295/40/18's in the back. It also has Dr.Diff 13" brakes in the front which widen the track a bit, as well as a 68-70 B-body 8 3/4 in the back with 1/2" offset springs. Fenders are rolled and pushed, rear quarters have a "reverse tub" to get get rid of the bump in the outer wheelhouse and are also rolled and pushed.

The Dart front fenders don't do a ton for tire clearance, but it depends on the height of the tires. The Dart wheel opening is longer, so, the rear corner of the fender isn't an issue at all. And if you use '72 front fenders the lower front corner is actually a bit further toward the front as well. So there's a small improvement. But that being said, I was running the same wheels and tires up front when I had Duster fenders too.

The clearance issue isn't real bad, but it definitely looks like it's coming in contact with the lower front corner. So if there's a slight improvement in clearance with the Dart fenders I'd feel much better running those wheels on it. My goal was to find some steelies and dog dish for the valiant anyways.

I appreciate all this information your giving me! Kinda hard to find mopar people around me. No one ever knows what kind of vehicles are in my driveway quick to assume it's some Chevy or Ford. I feel like that's what draws me to love these a body mopars even more. For me it started with an 84 d100 I'd go to local shows and my goal was to see if I could find any older d100 or first gen rams. See a whole lot of c10s done in anyway you could think of and some f100.
