I have a 63 Dodge Dart and I was wondering if you guys could steer me in the right direction for upgrading the wheels to 15 in. Or maybe more I'm not sure what fits. Also if I need to change the rear end and the spindles can I just get discs at the same time and like I'm thinking there's probably a Duster or Dart year that would probably plug and play if anybody knows. Thanks a lot

15x7 with a 4 or 4.25 backspace works on the back. I don't recommend any wider than 6" on the front.

Well that's beautiful that's exactly what I'm looking for. I mean I'm in love that is beautiful!
My 66 has had lot's of looks. I think the 15's really helped. The 14" Rallys were just to try. THe black wheels on the back were actually Rallys I found here that were painted black, 15x7's of course with 225/70-15's with stock 14x5.5 on the front. I bought the aluminum wheels from a member here and it really gave it the look I was always wanting. The aluminum's are 235/70-15's in the rear on 15x7's and the fronts are 165/80-15's on 4.5" wide wheels. The rear springs are ESPO stock replacements at stock height.

Parasitic drag is real. You want to dog that slant some more, put a set of heavy 15's, and heavier rear end in. If you are planning a V8 swap( which is harder in a 63) great. But if you are planning on sticking with the slant, I would suggest some 14x5.5 steel wheels, and keep the 7.25. .02

PS: Nice looking car.
 
I wish mine didn't have the door post like yours that looks a lot better.
I like post cars myself. THey are plain and simple. They make great race cars. The hardtops are just a bit fancier. I have one of those Blue Darts too. Mine is a 70 and a couple years older than the one you pictured. I messed with tires and wheels on that one too until I got the look I wanted without any mods to the car.
