Stop in for a cup of coffee

I found a set of 15x7 original police steelies that I am picking up this weekend, so next week i can work on having new tires mounted. I like the stink bug stance so i am looking for recommendations on what size tire I can put on the rear to give her a little boost in the caboose.

I assume there are some differences between our cars when it comes to fender lips, and I am running the SS springs, but I have 15x8.5 with 3.25 BS and a 295/60-15 Hoosier. The older pic with the black wheels were 15x8 with 4" BS and 275/60-15 Firestone

Looks like a nice car. I have never liked those wheels though. I like Rally's better but Cragar SS's look great with that color. There's already a B5 Swinger in town with SS's though.

Thanks, that is similar to the stance I have in mind. There is a little difference in the dart now, but I want more of a difference to show. I just don't want to have to get into having to alter anything in order to add a bigger stance.

Have BBP needed them to clear the rear disk brakes. Then a 15" spare for the trunk aint going to happen so I use one from a jeep safety spare. It will get me home.
