Those skinny front runners look bad ***! Are The 29 inch cheater slicks going to fit? How wide are they going to be? Don't forget mixing bias Ply and radials is a no no!

My 64 with 15x7 rallies with 205/70r15.
Keep in mind that the Pirate Jack kit if it uses 73+ spindles will push the track width out a bit. I did a similar swap using the Dr Diff kit and my taller tires rubbed on the front of the fender on my valiant. Had to swap to a shorter tire.
15x5 155/80/15 in front and 15x8 with 275/60/15s on rear.

That’s a good looking car! I wish mine looked that good! Mini tub and relocated springs?
Yep. Mini tub and custom 4 link but mini tub and relocated springs will allow a 295.

Thank you the response. I’m headed the same way for my ‘64 Valiant. Link kit a custom setup or an off the shelf kit?

Looks good.
I currently have 215/60/15 all around but want to go taller than that for the rear. I’m wondering How much the stance would change by moving to 215/70/15 in the rear? That may not be enough.

1965 Barracuda. Has LBP all around so 5 on 4 1/2. 15 inch Cop Car Rallys all around. 235/60 15's front and 275/60 15 rear.
You are going to have to run the caster all the way back and 195/60 are as wide as you can go or the wheel will catch the lower front corner of the fender with disks and the 1” wider stance.
I’m running a 215/60/15 on the front of my Valient.
Valiants have a TON more room front and back with the way the body lines are. I have 205's on my Valiant and figured I could easily go to 215's.
Heres my 66 B-Cuda. It rides on 15 inch Keystones, 15x8 in front, 15x9 in rear. big bolt patter all around, with 75 discs in front, 8 1/4 rear. Can't remember tire sizes, and its still in a winter ca coon.
I left the chrome trim on the sides off, as I don't like it.

Looks awesome! I have 15x8 sbp I'm thinking 245 either Cooper Cobra or BFG TA. See any issue with 8" vs 7"?
The tires currently on green steel wheels are 275's, wayyyyy too wide/ TOO CLOSE! lol. With my 245's currently on Cragars give me 3/4" from sidewall to leaf spring 83/4 diff if that matters. Don't wanna come any closer to leaves.
Thanks

Hi Jim. Did you have any clearance issues in the front? Looks good!
63/64 Dart VERY snug. 195/60 was about it or it catches the front lower fender corner. Even then I had to roll my caster all the way back for the most positive caster I could get to clear. Valiant could use much larger on both ends.
