Here's the wheels I have on my daily driven '74 Duster.
Vision Wheels - Model 172
Front: 18" x 8.50" - +32 mm offset - 6.0" backspacing
Rear: 18" x 9.50" - +38 mm offset - 6.75 backspacing
Front Part #: 142-8865GM32
Rear Part #: 142-8965GM38
Cooper Zeon RS3-S Tires
Front: 255/40R18
Rear: 275/40R18
Notes:
Since it is important to note any suspension modifications to make the wheels fit, here they are.
The front suspension is stock style but I have upgraded the sway bar, torsion bars, and strut rods. The Torsion Bars and Strut Rods are from PST. The sway bar is from Hellwig. I am also running the stock upper control arm with offset bushings. I'm running Bilstein shocks up front.
I'm running a '69 B-body axle where I moved the spring perches in to A-Body specs. This axle is wider than A-Body pushing the rear wheels out making the rear track width to be more in-line with the front track width. I'm running Bilstein shocks out back.
The best part of these wheels, is that they look great and I
DID NOT have to run any spacers proving that 18" wheels are the way to go if you want modern tires and improved handling.
The ride is pretty good (not too harsh at all and no vibration either) and these tires grip really well and do pretty well in the light California rain too.
