Haven't been on here and a while but I'm finally getting some time to play around with the Duster so let the questions begin.
First thing I'd like to do is find a wheel/tire package for my '72 Duster. I'm planning on putting a 383 in the car but that will come later. I've found some wheels I like for the car-American Racing PN 6244665 for the front and American Racing PN 625165 for the rear. The fronts are a 14X6 with 3.75" backspacing and +6mm of offset. The rears are 15X10 with 4.00" of backspacing and -38mm of offset. I like the wheels alot but that is still up in the air.
First question-Does anyone know of anywhere else I can find a good looking 14" wheel...I would like to keep a 14" front and a 15" rear to give the car a decent stance...there are some after market 15" welds on the front right now and they rub a little...could be that the tire was a little flat the last time I had it out but I think I'd like to go with a 14" up front.
Second question-any recommendations for front tires...I'm having a hard time finding anything that would fit that wheel.
Thanks for the help.
 
I noticed that you have a 9" rear end, what width is it. This will help to determine the offset that you will need to make that 10" wheel fit properly. When it comes to the stance that you want you can do that with the many tire sizes that are available today and keep the wheels at 15" all around which would be better in my opinion.

Not sure on the rear end off the top of my head...the car is in a garage at home but I'm taking summer classes for college right now so I can only get to the car on weekends. I'll have to get back to you on that one. As far as the front goes, it has 15" wheels on it now but as I mentioned, there was some rubbing on the fender the last time I took it out...this is really the only reason I'm nervous about 15s on the front. Could this be from a low front tire? or can I fix that by adjusting the torsion bars? I know alot of guys run 15s all the way around so I know it can be done. This is my first project and I'm trying to learn all I can.
