I'm going to be in the same boat. I've got Dr Diff Cobra brakes. I've heard people use Crown Vic/Grand Marquis spares. I think the Grand Marquis spares are aluminum. If you have to pay $100 for each spare though, that's a lot of money just for a temp wheel. I have seen people make "rollers"...

There was a big post on Moparts about this in the last week. The older small bolt pattern Cragers take a special lug nut. The new ones take a conical seat lug nut. The OP on Moparts bought the lug nuts for the old style wheels and they kept loosening up on him. It was finally discovered that...

I've seen it done quite a bit actually. Some colors look better than others. I'm not a fan of it personally but if you like it then go for it. The only person who has to be happy with it is YOU. Most people aren't going to like the wheel/tire combo I have planned for my Dart but who cares...

Unfortunately, that's the way they came from the factory. It looks dumb with the board sticking up higher then the trunk floor. Found this picture online of a Dart. I'm going to find a small donut spare so that doesn't happen. http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/OTAwWDEyMDA=/z/0qkAAOSwT6pVsSA7/$_1.JPG...

1970 was light argent. 71 was dark argent.

The overall tire diameter and weight isn't the issue. It's where that weight is in relationship to the center of the wheel. The wheel/tire combo can be the same diameter and the same weight, but if more of the weight is out at the edge(farther way from the wheel centerline) the more inertia it...

Yes, they have the Rallye wheel paint. Check out the link... http://www.totallyautoinc.com/paint/paint.html

I've got a can of the zinc paint from 10+ years ago. It has a blue tint to it but looks nothing like clear zinc. It also doesn't have any texture to it. Maybe it has been redesigned since I bought the can. Personally, I'd look at Totally Auto. They have textured argent in spray cans...

Just for kicks, I put a 265-50-20 tire on a 20x9" wheel under the Dart just to see what it would look like. The diameter was way too tall. The tire touched the front and back of the wheel well. However, the width looked really good. I had the rear end and springs removed but with the 1/2" Dr...

Find someone with the measuring tool and see if you can borrow it. I will be mocking up my Dart and using the tool to get my measurements before ordering wheels. There are too many variables between cars. You can get close by seeing what others are using but I'd still measure to be certain.

A picture of your car is in the screen saver slide show on my work computer.

If I remember correctly, the reproduction MP trim rings from the 90s(?) didn't fit very well. The issue was with the "teeth" that grip the wheel. The weld that connected the ends of the teeth was done sloppy and it would interfere with the wheel.

That has a lot to do with it. Personally, I can't stand the "day 2" look. I like the big wheels as well as factory stock though. There is room for everyone in this hobby.

This has been quoted a few times so I thought I would address it. The difference in sidewall height in that picture is an illusion. The fronts are a 225-40-18 and the rears are a 285-30-20. The fronts have an overall height of right around 25"...the rears have a height of 27". They both...

Wheel choice is very personal. Don't worry about what others think. There will always be people who like them and people who hate them. You are the only one who has to be happy with the purchase.

Good for you dad! If we can't be with our sons, all we can do is keep their memory alive. It sounds like you are doing a good job of it.

I hate it when a post is the last one on a page. I always seem to miss them. I PM'd the owner and this is what he told me. He also said the front RMS suspension is 2" wider then stock. The rear was shortened 2". I don't know if that is per side or total width.

I ended up buying some chromed rings and took a scotchbrite pad to them. They look good for what little money they cost. NOS rings are going for around $600...no thanks.

If you have front disc brakes right now, you can install a replacement rotor that has the larger bolt pattern. Then all you need to do is address the rear.

I agree....no rub, no matter how slight, is acceptable.

This is a members car. This is my inspiration for my Dart. It's got 18's in front and 20's in the rear. I love everything about this car...

That's called the Pro Touring look. Yes, I really like it. I like a lot of different build styles. As long as the build is done cleanly, and the theme is carried out throughout the car. I like the OE Gold stock restored cars as well as the Pro Touring.

I need to see the car and your rim style choice.

I've got 235-60's on SBP Rallyes and the tires really bulge out a lot.

First of all you need to tell us what car you have.

I was going to post that link too. I'm surprised it doesn't list the wheel options like it does for 68 and 69.

Cooper tires are probably one of the only tire companies still making a white wall radial. I put reproduction WSW Polyglas tires on my Challenger but they weren't cheap. You can't beat the look though. Kelsey Tire makes them.

Here's what I would do... Do a Google search for your year/make/model exc. Find a picture you like and save it to your computer. You should have a cheap "paint" program that is automatically loaded onto your machine. You can use that to color the wheels yourself. It won't be perfect but it...

The wheels look perfect on that car. I wouldn't change a thing. Generally, the larger the car....the larger the wheel you can get away with. Personally, I don't like any aftermarket wheel in 14 or 15" sizes. If you are going to upgrade to a non factory wheel, then you need to go bigger...
