    Tried a 15x7 on my early A

    Thanks!!! The right back-spacing is critical in trying to get the widest possible tire on there.

    Tried a 15x7 on my early A

    Thanks. No, there are NO chassis mods to get these tires on the cars...beyond rolling the inside of the lip, which was rubbing the tire a little... Oh yes: I did have to raise both the '72 and the '64 with coil-over "helper" springs to gain some clearance at the inner wheel well. Helped a...

    Tried a 15x7 on my early A

    Our car has a B body 8.75" rear housing, with virtually no modification, in our '64 Valiant 4-door. We did have to move the spring mounts in about an inch on each side, but aside from ordering some wheels with different backspacing, that's all we did. We don't have air shocks, but do have some...

    what would have sbp 15" + wheels stock that would fit my Dart?

    I don't THINK that Ma Mopar ever put a 15" wheel on a SBP car. I had Stockton Wheel build mine. To get the required backspacing I needed, they had to reverse the rim. Call 'em up; they'll build anything you want/need. They advertise in the Mopar magazines all the time.

    Sleeper car , what wheels !!! pics**

    Thanks for the compliment! My partner, Freddie did ALL the fabrication on that piece; I never touched a thing, and he says "Never again!!" That is the only header he ever built (he has a pacemaker/de-fibrilator in his chest, and cannot weld), and had to hire all the T.I.G. welding done...

    Sleeper car , what wheels !!! pics**

    Back in 1998. a guy offered me this 120,000-mile (really) '72 Valiant with a tired 318 for $100.00, and I couldn't resist, even though it was the ugliest brown 4-door I'd ever seen. Now, $$$$ later, it has a Vortech supercharged (10 pounds of boost) 360 Magnum, a worked 904 with a 2,500 rpm...

    Installed the BFG drag radials!

    Mad Dart, The rubber compound on those BF Goodrich Drag Radials is nothing like a street tire; they hook MUCH better... I was unable to spin a tire with a 400+ hp engine when they put down a modicum of VHT at the drags one day last year; A street tire wouldn't have hooked that hard...

    sbp wheels

    One thing to think about, when changing over to big bolt pattern wheels is: The sbp wheels register on the hub, not the lug studs. I think the center holes in the bbp wheels are larger than the holes in the sbp wheels. That means, if you manage to get a bbp arrangement of studs, and use...

    sbp wheels

    The Summit Racing search engine has a type of search that will show you all the 4" on 5 wheels they carry, and they carry a lot. I needed some sbp Centerline Auto Drag wheels for my Valiant and was afraid they didn't make them in sbp size any more, so I went online to that search engine and...
