Front tire clearance on 66 Dart

[66GTDART]

I upgraded front brakes to later disc. I’m planning on running 15x6 Mopar rally wheels on my 66 Dart GT.
Will I have any rubbing or hitting problems when turning.
Thanks for any information.
Also what size tire would be best

Large bolt disc? If so what set up?

With fenderwell headers and 15 by 3.5 skinnies up front on wider 74 Abody spindles I can't really say anything other than there is not a lot of room. You will have to make sure the wheel has the right offset. If you have the 5x4.5 BP at least you can get some wheels to try! Sorry not to be more helpful.

I have 15x4 1/2's and 165-80/15's with no rub but on 10" drum brakes. I wish I knew the difference in track width between mine and your unknown brakes. Dang, I need to take some closer pics.

I think its 1.5 inches wider on each side.

Uh, it's less than half that. According to the factory the 73+ track was 59.15", '72 and earlier was 57.74". So that's a total change of 1.4", per side is half that.

I apologize. I knew 1.5 inches was sticking in my head. But let's not forget this car is a 66. I think you are thinking of 67 to 72. I'm pretty sure the 66 and earlier are another 1.5 narrower. But I can't remember. I know I put 73 knuckles on my 66.

They're narrower overall, but the difference between the drum spindles and the 73+ disk spindles is the same.
