6" wheel question

[investigator]

1968 Dodge Dart 2 door sedan was 6 cylinder 1973 dark disc brakes up front converting to V8 small block 360 no power steering. Want to know if 6 inch wheel with three and a half backspace + 195 65 R-15 will work clearance. Thank you

rim should fit fine.. i'm running a 7" rim with 4.5" backspace.

Thanks a lot man what year is yours and was it originally a 6 cylinder in case that makes any difference just trying to be sure before I buy my wheels

mine is a 70. with 73- disc brake set up on it. 6 or 8 doesn't matter. wheel opening is the same too i believe.. if i did it over i'd go 4 3/4 backspace.

Very cool notice those tubular upper control arms really nice what size tire did you have. I am not going to have power steering so I'm trying to keep this tire size a little bit narrow hopefully it will steer easier. Staying as light as I can. Thanks bud I'm happy to chat anytime
