    SBP mag slots, 14 or 15 to anything from 4 to 7?

    I was gifted a pair of SMP 14x8 magslots for my 1970 duster, from a family member, I really like them and want to do them justice on my car and let my family member see me use them. But my duster currently has old cragars on it, which I like, but I'm not gonna mix the mag slots and the cragars...

    Tallest front tire on a duster

    I tried putting 215/70r14 tires on the front of my duster, the left tire barely fits, the right side rubs so I took them off for now. Haven't had time to dig much deeper but I measured and found that the wheelbase on the left side of my car is about 107" and the right is about 108". According to...

    Can’t find 245/60 14 tires. How does 225/70 14 look in comparison?

    Still having some setbacks but I was able to take pictures with the tires mounted. My rear springs and shocks are shot so the back end is sitting way low, and these rims also have an offset that brings them much closer to the lip, the 225/70/14s on the back are VERY close- but they do fit and...

    what wheels?

    I really like the look of Cragar SS better than slots, but the barracuda is one of the few cars where I do like slots.

    Can’t find 245/60 14 tires. How does 225/70 14 look in comparison?

    I didn't get the studs changed over today, so no new rims mounted. I have work the next two days. I might get to it on friday. Whenever I get to it I will post pics, 225/70/14 rear and 215/70/14 front.

    Can’t find 245/60 14 tires. How does 225/70 14 look in comparison?

    These pictures didn't come out as good as I hoped, next to the 245 they make the 225 look really skinny... in reality the 245 measures just under 8" at the tread while the 225 measures just over 7. About 5/8 to 3/4 inch difference. The 225/70 is a bit taller than the 245/60- nearly an inch...

    Can’t find 245/60 14 tires. How does 225/70 14 look in comparison?

    It just so happens I just got a set of 225/70/14's installed on some cragar ss rims yesterday, AND I have a set of 245/60/14's all around on my coronet. I'll take pictures for you today, have them up by evening. I am pretty pleased with the 225's, can't wait to get them on the car. Stupid left...

    Anyone running 225 70r14 on the rear? Let me see

    Wow, awesome job on that car! And those tires look great. Seeing that makes me feel pretty good about the 225's. Thanks.

    Anyone running 225 70r14 on the rear? Let me see

    Some 14x6 cragar SS's should be here soon, I'm considering what tires I will want to put on. I want to keep cost down for now so I may end up putting on the 195/75's that I have now on the front and just getting something else for the back. From what I have read it seems that the 225/70 is the...

    Show me your factory 14", SBP non-rallye duster rims please?

    I don't have the time and money yet to do a 4.5" swap or get new rims and tires (and the tires on there are like new anyway) so I want to see what I can do with the factory rims. I don't like the original hubcaps. I was thinking of painting the rims black and putting on a dog dish style cap or...

    Wide tires + rain + daily driver = what traction

    Not an A body but my 1972 Coronet is wearing BF Goodrich Radial T/A's in 255/60 all around and that thing is fine in the rain and snow. Honestly it's amazing how well that car handles in the snow. I believe wider is better for traction, but as others said, tread design and compound is also very...
