I have a 71 dart and I'm putting in a 8 1/4. I have 5.5 wide factory rallies I was wondering if a 245/60 would fit without moving the springs?
 
245/60/15’s and 245/60/14’s aren’t supposed to be mounted an a rim narrower than 7”. Not sure if you’ve got 14’s or 15’s, but either way a 5.5” wide rim is too narrow for a 245.

With the correct backspacing most 71 Darts will be able to fit a 245 with the stock spring locations. But you have to measure your car, because the body tolerances have enough variance that it’s not a guaranteed slam dunk.
 
I got 245 60 R 15 on my 68 Valiant on summit ralley wheels
