For the front, that is too much backspace About the most you can run with a 15, is 3.75bs. I once tried to run a 15x8 steel wheel with a 4.25"bs, and spent hours trying to make it work. In the end, I took the wheel to a wheel shop and had them cut the spider out and move it over to 4inches, and...

That may be, but My opinion is this; I grew up in the 60s and 70s, and most of us high-schoolers ran those, on our A-bodies, to get 15s on the backs of our street cars. My Swinger was a DD, and in the 5 or more years I had it, she racked up a pretty good amount of miles; over two years worth...

you are, of course, entitled to your opinion.

I got a lightly used set of these

For long tread life, I run 235/60-14s on a 7.5" wheels at 28psi. Nice ride, and reasonably stable cornering around town, once you get used to the sidewall roll. ------------------------------------------------ On the back I run 295/50-15s on 10s, but the wheels are not quite wide enough. For...

The name Rader comes to mind Just so you know, it is possible to put 295/50-15s inside those Barracuda tubs, and lower the car to nearly whatever you want. Here's what I did; 1) I moved the springs inboard with the bolt-in kit; 2) I cut off the perches, set new ones on the springs 3) I had...

That 57Chevy should have had 5on 4.75 bolt circle. To mount them on a 4.5 bc, means they are Unilugs. As for me, notta chance would I run Unilugs on the front of my car. Also; nottachance would I run 195s. Even 235s have marginal braking; and steering can be tricky when pushing thru corners on...

actually, in my experience a 7" wheel is 8'' outside to outside and for a zero offset, should have an 8" bs. All my wheels follow this rule. All my alloy wheels are even stamped that way; ie, a 10incher is 11" outside to outside.. BTW Notta chance would I run a 275 on a 7" wheel; which is...

will those chrome reverse clear the calipers?

Let's talk Scrub-radius. If you mount a set of factory-diameter tires on factory wheels, at factory ride height, and if you could draw a line thru the center of the Ball-joints, down to the roadway, and another line thru the center of the tires/wheels, as viewed from the front; then, those two...

Rusty's right, the BFGs have rounded edges, I run my 295s at 22>24 pounds on Tens, which gives me plenty of nice even wear. And contrary to popular opinion, after you get used to how they corner at that pressure, the self-steer is awesome. It's like running a fast-ratio box/arm. and besides...

It's no secret, it's been mentioned a few times. Those are my sliding and drifting tires. But I have other tires on other wheels. At one time I had four sets of tires on the go, plus a brand new set; I always have one new set waiting. New 15 inch tires are too precious to just burn up.

I have not seen BFGs with brown letters. In fact; the 235s on the front of my Barracuda are about 20 years old, and NOT brown. and the 295s on the back are pretty old too, and not brown either. The car is always parked outside, but usually in the shade. But, hey, I live in Canada up near the...

Yur getting way ahead of yourself. Just put air shocks on it.

If your Demon came with a 340, it should have been wearing E70-14s An E was a 7.35" section and the sidewalls were 70% of the section when mounted on a specified checking rim. Thus; this tire should have been about 7.35 x 70% x 2 +14= 24.3 tall In metric a 7.35 is 186.7 converts to a 185/70-14...

IDK about the N50-14 size. As to 15" tires; The N50-15 tire had a section width of 12.65" and an overall height of 27.50" on a 9" wide rim. The closest P-metric tire size would be a P325/50R-15. But Don't mount this on a 9" rim! On the street you will need to run this at about 20>24psi to not...

That's why I bought a set of 295/50-15s for spares about 5 years ago...... I love the old-school kidney-bean slots too.

By the math, a 215/70-15 is about 26.85 tall. And yes it will bolt on, but you will not be able to steer to full lock as the tire will rub , depending on the Backspace in at least two places, First is the bottom front corner of the fender, and second is possibly on the frame rail. If you run...

I have about 15 or more of those wheels but only a few centers and none of them are bolt on. Instead, they press into the centerholes and are held captive by plastic hooks on the tabs that press thru the centerholes. If I remember right (haven't seen then in decades) they are in good physical...

Is this for a street car? For personal enjoyment? If yes; Forget about it On the street, at the front, I can barely overdrive sticky 245s, and I can burn a pair off in a couple of weeks. I eventually installed 235/60-14s up front, and lowered the rear tire pressures, and now I just skate around...

On the street, I've run down to a quarter inch, with 325/50-15 BFG DRs on 10" wheels @24psi, with offset springs that are de-arched to nearly flat. But; when cornering, the entire body shifts sideways on the rear shackles, and the tires rub on the inner wells, which have a static 3/8ths...

They say your Duster has the Same wheel tubs as my 68 Barracuda. I was able to install those 325/50-15s on 10s into my tubs with only some minor smashing, I mean reshaping on the inner walls, and rolling the lips of the outers, moving the axle back a half inch, and trimming the sheet-metal down...

If it helps, I have run 325/50-15s on tens. Looks great but to wear evenly the pressure has to be down at less than 24psi. Which means I had to slow down for the turns. I compromised with 295/50-15s only because 305 -15s were recently discontinued and unavailable old stock, anywhere in Canada...

Steel wheels are heavy, and those Cragars are no exception. Just one steel wheel is nearly as heavy as a pair of alloys. Alloys will give you a fair ride improvement. Jus saying; not looking for an argument.

Back in ~1974, I had a 65 Valiant SW with a 340 in it, and Hooker fenderwell headers were the only choice. It barely turned corners with the factory 13s on it. Today there are better choices. IIRC Hooker makes an under chassis for SBMs that has five pipes going down in the usual way, and just 3...

Here are some other things to remember; 1) you need to also turn the steering wheel, lock to lock, in both directions to see what happens 2) account for wheel-bearing clearance 3) chit bends and flexes when you put 700,900,1100, or possibly even 1300 pounds on it in a corner and specifically...

My 14 x 7.5s are aftermarket kidney-slots from back in the 70s. I forget the name just now, but they are "like" Ansen-Sprints. Was it ET-IIs?, I forget. I took my 15x10 WV Rallys to a local wheel-shop, and had them move the spiders for a better fit. They did a good job. I put my 325/50-15 BFG...

Here's another trick, if you already have the wheel; since the Rallys are centered by the tapered cone style nuts, just install some large od washers on each of the studs to space the New wheels off the hubs, then gently run the wheel nuts down. When the wheel is secured, you can go find the...

I have run Unilugs on the 4.5 BC without issue, but, mine are hub-centric. Many of us have private stashes of 4"bc wheels. I would suggest you post a want-ad of whatever wheels you want. Someone may be willing to part with a vintage set

Back in late summer of 1970, I bought a gently used 1970 Swinger 340/A833/3.55/Rally Suspension, PDB and P/S bench seat car. It had 11,000 miles on it and the E70-14s were still in real nice condition. I'm pretty sure it had painted steel wheels and poverty hats, But I wouldn't bet money on...
