1965 dart gt spring question

8.5" rims don't fit comfortably on the back of a '65 Dart. Fixing the shackles will certainly give you clearance, but be prepared for the "tail happy" handling that will be introduce to your driving around. Especially on damp corners at moderate speeds.

Been there, done that. Old enough not to do it again.
8's aren't happy either. 7's are as wide as you would want to go without moving the springs and/or trimming the wheel lip.
